| 1 | HOUSE RESOLUTION
| ||||||
| 2 | WHEREAS, Human life should be cherished and protected from | ||||||
| 3 | conception to a natural
death, and adoption should always be | ||||||
| 4 | the first alternative to keeping a newborn child; and
| ||||||
| 5 | WHEREAS, Many Americans are morally opposed to abortions | ||||||
| 6 | and to taxpayer money
subsidizing any organization that | ||||||
| 7 | performs abortions; the use of aborted human tissue for | ||||||
| 8 | research is
morally abhorrent and should cease immediately; and
| ||||||
| 9 | WHEREAS, Planned Parenthood performed 323,999 abortions in | ||||||
| 10 | 2014 in the United States; it has sent
millions of dollars | ||||||
| 11 | overseas with little accountability in the form of grants; and
| ||||||
| 12 | WHEREAS, Planned Parenthood performs abortions while being | ||||||
| 13 | subsidized by taxpayer
dollars; Planned Parenthood
| ||||||
| 14 | overwhelmingly refers expecting women to abortions rather than | ||||||
| 15 | adoptions; Planned
Parenthood has also profited from providing | ||||||
| 16 | aborted baby parts and tissue to places of research; therefore, | ||||||
| 17 | be it
| ||||||
| 18 | RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ONE | ||||||
| 19 | HUNDREDTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we | ||||||
| 20 | urge the United States Congress to defund Planned Parenthood; | ||||||
| 21 | and be it further
| ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | RESOLVED, That suitable copies of this resolution be | ||||||
| 2 | delivered to President Donald Trump, Senate Majority Leader | ||||||
| 3 | Mitch McConnell, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Speaker | ||||||
| 4 | of the House Paul Ryan, House of Representatives Minority | ||||||
| 5 | Leader Nancy Pelosi, and all members of the Illinois | ||||||
| 6 | Congressional Delegation.
