Breitbart’s Dr. Susan Berry writes on the connection between a CBS News report on Planned Parenthood’s secret construction of an 18,000-square-foot “mega” abortion facility in southern Illinois and abortion laws in the state. The abortion giant hid behind a “shell company” to avoid pro-life protests” and construction delays – the new building is only 13 miles from the last abortion clinic in St. Louis, Missouri.
Susan B. Anthony List’s Jill Stanek, an Illinois native and a former nurse who witnessed babies left to die after being born alive during abortions in Chicago, was quoted as an expert on Illinois’ “Reproductive Health Act,” a law that repealed the state ban on partial-birth abortion:
