CULTURE of DEATH:Illinois Taxpayers Fund Record Number of Abortions

Seventeen states use public moneyto kill preborn babies.
For the second year in a row, Illinois taxpayers are set to fund a record number of abortions at county health facilities. One hospital reports a 78 percent increase over four years.Stroger Hospital in Cook County, Ill., one of the largest urban health care providers in Chicago, performs about 4,000 abortions a year — and bills taxpayers more than $1 million a year for those abortions."If you subsidize something, you get more of it," said Clarke Forsythe, president of Americans United for Life. "Unfortunately, taxpayers are footing the bill here.”Illinois is one of 17 states that funds most or all abortions for Medicaid recipients. Mary Spaulding Balch, state legislative director for the National Right to Life Committee, said studies confirm that tax dollars often mean more abortions.“When a state does not or the federal government does not pay for abortion, about 20 percent of people who might consider abortion do not actually go through with the abortion," she said. “There’s an indication that even the pregnancy rate goes down.”
