(Rockford, IL) — A federal judge is calling part of a state abortion law in Illinois unconstitutional. The Rockford federal judge ruled that a portion of the Illinois Health Care Right of Conscience Act violates free speech for compelling anti-abortion medical professionals to provide information about abortion care to patients without being prompted. The ruling was in response to a case brought by the National Institute of Family and Life Advocates and three anti-abortion pregnancy centers.
