Illinois can’t force doctors to tell patients about abortion ‘benefits,’ judge rules – Cook County Record

On April 4, U.S. District Judge Iain Johnston struck down as unconstitutional recently enacted Illinois legislation which altered the state's Health Care Right of Conscience Act. The ruling finally declaring the law unconstitutional comes eight years after a different federal judge had slapped an injunction on the state, blocking Illinois from enforcing the law while the constitutional challenges to the measure played out in court.

Whether you support abortion or not, this decision makes sense. And if anyone can not understand that, they are a part of the problem. And that problem being an ever increasing government using its power to coerce their power over you.

Exactly right. And as far as people not understanding that who are part of the problem, progressives in the General Assembly who have passed laws like this are the worst offenders. They don’t understand the First Amendment and could not care less.

Trump appointed judge. How would the case have turned out if it was an Obama or Biden appointed judge?

The other way, of course.

It’s not Congress or the President that has the most POWER. It is the Courts where even one unelected Appellate Judge can rule the nation.
