Illinois FOCA

Imagine our surprise when Republican Representative Sandy Cole (R62) voted to allow the Illinois FOCA Bill out of committee. This means HB 2354 will go to the floor of the House for a vote. Horrors! Representative Cole must not have read the Republican Platform. In the Platform the Republicans protect innocent unborn human life, while the Democrats in their Platform give no protection to unborn human life. Perhaps Representative Cole thought she was a Democrat. And maybe she should be. What has she voted for? 

FOCA will supercede all laws that restrict the right to abortion, including counseling and referrals. It will also invalidate:
 1. All parental consent or notification laws
2. All laws restricting government funding of abortion
3. Laws prohibiting abortion in public hospitals
4. Conscience Rights laws protecting doctors, nurses, and privately funded hospitals
5. It will allow partial-birth abortion.

Representative Cole received many phone calls urging her to vote no in committee on this radical pro-abortion law. Obviously she is not listening to her constituency. Perhaps Brahms' Lullaby should be sent to her office in order to help her sleep at night. It will do the baby's no good, they won't be around. And the music is too good to waste.
