SPRINGFIELD, IL – State Representative Charlie Meier (R-Okawville) has introduced the ‘Ultrasound Opportunity Act,’ which would give pregnant women the opportunity to have an ultrasound before having an abortion.
“The Ultrasound Opportunity Act is about giving expecting mothers the opportunity to see the precious life growing inside them,” said Rep. Meier. “Radical Democrats have made Illinois the most pro-abortion state in the country. In Illinois, it’s possible for a woman to have an abortion on demand, with taxpayer dollars, without parental consent. It’s out of control. My bill would give women the chance to see her child for the first time, and I believe many women will then choose life after seeing the miracle.”
HB 1129 awaits legislative action. Representative Charlie Meier represents the 109th District, which includes parts or all of Bond, Clinton, Madison, St. Clair, and Washington Counties.
