House Bill 1333, introduced by McCombie, Rep. Paul Jacobs (R-115th), and co-sponsored by Rep. Patrick Windhorst (R-117th) would also create several laws that would make full abortion or partial-birth abortions illegal, except in cases of a medical emergency in which the mother’s life is endangered.
The law would apply to both surgical and medication-based abortion procedures.
McCombie stopped by the Pecatonica Library to discuss issues with her constituents and said she was surprised by the protests.
“It’s just really is to start over. I think everybody can agree that we don’t support – whether you’re pro-choice or pro-life – that we don’t support abortions to 9 months. We don’t believe in the repeal of parental notification. We don’t believe in taxpayer-funded abortions.”
She also acknowledged the bill had little hope of passing.
“We’re in the super minority. This bill will sit like it does every year. It’ll sit where it is, and it’ll just die in rules,” she said.
Currently, Illinois has some of the strongest pro-abortion laws in the nation.
