BY LifeSiteNews.com SPRINGFIELD, April 2, 2003 (LifeSitNews.com) - Pro-lifers who protest outside abortion clinics could face 30 days in jail and a costly lawsuit under a law passed by Illinois legislators this week. The bill got approval from the House 62 votes to 49, and now goes to the state Senate. Rep. Elaine Nekritz, a Democrat from Des Plaines and a key proponent, said pro-lifers must be prevented from “obstructing” access to clinics, even though the number of cases in which such a complaint is alleged have been declining. “There is a right for peaceful access for someone to move forward and do what they wish to do,” said Rep. Rosemary Mulligan, a Des Plaines Republican opposing the measure. The bill now moves to the Senate. http://www.suntimes.com/output/news/cst-nws-leg01.html http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/illinois-house-restricts-pro-life-free-speech/
