IL HR0695

Illinois House Resolution formally opposes Senate Bill 3572, which would legally define any fertilized human egg as a person under state law.

SB3572 would subject women seeking reproductive healthcare and their doctors to first degree murder charges, with no exceptions for rape or incest.

The resolution argues SB3572 would impose harsher criminal penalties on rape and incest survivors than on their attackers.

The resolution cites the 2024 Alabama Supreme Court decision that used similar "personhood" language to restrict IVF access in that state.

The House declares opposition to any efforts to punish women for accessing reproductive healthcare or restrict access to IVF and assisted reproductive technology.
