New State Bill Classifies Refusal Of Sex-Change Or Abortion Care As Child Abuse

You read that title correctly.

Democratic state Representative Anne Stava-Murray has introduced a bill, HB 4876, that would make the act of a parent denying their children abortion services or gender-affirming services child abuse.

Here is part of HB 4876 that you can read for yourself:

Amends the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act. Provides that "abused child" means a child whose parent or immediate family member, or any person responsible for the child's welfare, or any individual residing in the same home as the child, or a paramour of the child's parent denies the child access to necessary medical care, including, but not limited to, primary care services, abortion services, or gender-affirming services.

This is insanity.

This mirrors a similar case that just happened in Indiana, where a child was removed from their parent’s custody after they refused to use their transgender son’s pronouns.

It's not enough anymore to be tolerant of these insane leftist ideologies.

Now, they are actively forcing it upon you and punishing you for not forcing it upon your children.

The Washington Examiner shares more:

The bill “provides that a health care professional rendering abortion services and gender-affirming services shall not incur civil or criminal liability for failure to obtain valid consent or professional discipline for failure to obtain valid consent if the health care professional relied in good faith on representations made by the minor.”

A minor in the state of Illinois would be considered to have the same legal capacity, despite not being 18 years old, as a person of legal age to seek abortion and gender-transition care so long as the provider deems that the minor comprehends both the benefits and risks of the treatment, the legislation said

Illinois law classifies child abuse as either a misdemeanor or a felony.

The former can result in a fine of up to $2,500 and probation or one year in prison, while the latter carries a fine of up to $25,000 and a sentence of up to 15 years in prison, according to the Chicago-area law firm Ktenas.

I pray that this is not passed for the state of Illinois.
