[LPIL - Board of Directors] Call for agenda items.

[Kelly Liebmann-LPIL IT Operations Director]

Sending this early so people have time to read it over:


Whereas abortion is a major medical procedure which comes with possible health risks, including uterine perforations, lacerations, hemorrhaging, infections, blood clots, problems conceiving and carrying a baby full term, infertility, and death,

Whereas women who have an abortion may suffer from mental issues and PTSD after the procedure,

Whereas pro-abortion advocates claim women will seek out unsafe abortions if abortions were to become illegal, evidence from abortion clinics including the Women's Medical Society Clinic in Philadelphia, owned, and operated by Dr. Kermit Gosnell prove otherwise. In 2011, Gosnell, his wife, and eight employees were charged with a total of 32 felonies and 227 misdemeanors in connection with deaths, illegal medical services, and regulatory violations at the Women’s Medical Society Clinic. Gosnell was convicted of the murders of three infants who were born alive after using drugs to induce birth. Gosnell was also convicted of manslaughter in connection with the death of one woman during an abortion procedure and was convicted for several other related crimes.

Whereas countless numbers of nameless women and millions of the unborn have died during abortion procedures,

Whereas sex traffickers can and do force their victims to receive abortions,

Whereas Planned Parenthood workers have been captured on video discussing Planned Parenthood selling aborted baby parts to scientific laboratories, including performing abortions in a manner that allows for efficient harvesting of in-tact body parts for maximum sale price and profit, 

Whereas abortion is a topic used by government and politicians to divide citizens against each other when citizens should be uniting against the ever expanding and freedom limiting government,

Whereas the subject of abortion is used as a political tool for politicians from both the left and right during election time,

Whereas government funded Planned Parenthood donates millions of dollars each year to pro-abortion political candidates,

Therefore, be it resolved, the Libertarian Party of Illinois shall add to the Party Platform “The Libertarian Party is adamantly against government involvement in any and every aspect of our lives. Citizens should not be forced to pay for abortions or abortion counseling via taxes or fees. Government should stop all payments to, and funding for, providers who perform abortions, counsel pregnant women about abortion as an option to terminate pregnancy or refer patients for abortions.”
