CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— ‘An especially important step?’ Or “a dark day for Illinois?’ Lawmakers’ repeal of parental notification of abortion law rekindles divide. Legislators in the state House voted to repeal the notification law, sending the measure to Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s desk. Pritzker is expected to sign the measure into law, but his office did not respond to a request for comment after the Legislature passed the repeal. – Rachel Hinton

— Repeal of abortion parental notification law sent to Pritzker, House advances ban on using moral beliefs for COVID-19 vaccine refusal
In a night of high emotions, House Democrats voted to repeal the Parental Notice of Abortion Act and change the state’s Health Care Right of Conscience Act relating to COVID-19 — two measures opposed by Republicans, and a few Democrats. – Rachel Hinton

— Parents were fine with school vaccine mandates in the past, but COVID-19 may be a different story. COVID-19 vaccination has become politicized in a way that is unprecedented. Vaccinating school-aged children will be critical to controlling COVID-19, and lawmakers will need to proceed with caution. – James Colgrove
