Pro-Life Pregnancy Centers File Suit against Illinois Law Targeting Them"Pregnancy help ministries provide real options and assistance to women and families in need, but instead of the praise they deserve, pro-abortion politicians are targeting these ministries with $50,000 fines and injunctions solely because of their pro-life viewpoint." -Peter Breen, Thomas More Society Executive Vice President and Head of Litigation
Pro-life pregnancy centers explain the risks of abortion and offer alternatives, including services to assist women to keep their babies or choose adoption. Such charitable services have repeatedly drawn the ire of radical Democrats, however. The Illinois Deceptive Practices of Limited Services Pregnancy Centers Act prevents the use of "misinformation" to convince women not to use contraception and abortion. Fox News reported July 29 that the law, signed Thursday by Democrat Gov. J.B. Pritzker, could allow the attorney general's office to prosecute cases of alleged deception from pregnancy centers and issue up to $50,000 fines.

Democrats have labeled many truths as misinformation—such as saying biological men are men—when pressuring social media companies to censor. This law is not meant to stop lies but to protect abortion. Abortion centers can certainly be deceptive, leading women into thinking that they are not actually killing human babies; but the Illinois governor is not concerned about that.

The lawsuit was filed on behalf of multiple Illinois pro-life centers and organizations as well as NIFLA, a national pregnancy help center network. Peter Breen, Thomas More Society Executive Vice President and Head of Litigation (and a former Illinois State Legislator), called the law "a blatant attempt to chill and silence pro-life speech under the guise of ‘consumer protection.'" Breen continued, "Pregnancy help ministries provide real options and assistance to women and families in need, but instead of the praise they deserve, pro-abortion politicians are targeting these ministries with $50,000 fines and injunctions solely because of their pro-life viewpoint."
