Good news for parental notification

Zach Wichmann, the Associate Director of Education for the Catholic Conference of Illinois, sends the following note:

As I am sure most of you are already aware, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals today [Tuesday] dissolved the federal injunction against the Illinois Parental Notice of Abortion Act. It seems after fourteen years, this important law will finally go into effect.

For now, it seems safe to say that the work the Catholic Conference of Illinois and all of you put into defeating House Bill 317 three years ago and House Bill 2354 this year, as well as our participation in various legal actions, will really pay off. The implementation of this law will surely result in the preservation of many innocent lives in the years to come.

Congratulations to all! Let's hope the legal maneuvering finally comes to an end.
