Tell House Sponsors to Drop Illinois FOCA

Posted by Matt Yonke (February 24, 2010 at 6:58 pm)

Last year we got many of the sponsors of the Reproductive Health and Access Act to drop their sponsorship of the bill due to pressure from constituents like you.

This year, Representatives have been slower to join their names to the controversial bill. Let’s get some of those Reps to drop the bill this year!

Below you’ll find a list of all the Reps who have co-sponsored this bill. Look down the list and see if your Rep is one of them. If they are, call, fax, e-mail and even visit them if you can and tell them to drop their sponsorship of HB 6205, the Reproductive Health and Access Act today. Tell them:

• HB6205 will require taxpayers to fund thousands of Medicaid abortions—at a time of crushing fiscal crisis
• HB6205 will force Illinois school children into “condom training” sex-ed, starting in pre-school
• HB6205 will make it more difficult for women to seek justice after a botched abortion
• HB6205 will pave the way for gutting the Parental Notice Act of 1995—a measure supported by the overwhelming majority of Illinoisans

See the list after the break starting with the bill’s main sponsor, Majority Leader Rep. Barbara Flynn Currie, pictured to the right. If your Rep is on the list, you can find the complete list of their contact info—including maps to their Springfield and district offices—on the full list below. If you’re not sure who your state rep is, you can find out here by entering your address.
