State
Senator Sally Turner (R-Beason) released the following statement on
Senate Bill 1909, which provides the Illinois Attorney General broad
authority to target non-abortion-providing pregnancy centers with
so-called deceptive practices:
“Senate Bill 1909 unfairly targets privately-funded pregnancy
resources centers that do not provide abortion procedures. The
Illinois Attorney General has admitted that he already has the
authority under consumer protections laws to go after deceptive
practices and fraud committed by both these centers as well as
centers that provide abortions.

“If he already has the authority
to do this, why does he and the Majority Party need specific
legislation to go after only non-abortion providing centers?
Unfortunately, the answer appears very simple: they want to
force their own beliefs regarding abortions upon all Illinoisans
and shutdown or silence anyone who disagrees.”
