Governor who's committing suicide by food wants Illinois to allow state's visitors to commit suicide too

Illinois Democrats are at it again, shoving through a ghoulish Halloween special that's straight out of a dystopian nightmare: a bill to turn the Land of Lincoln into a one-stop shop for assisted suicide, all while trampling on the religious freedoms of doctors who actually believe in the sanctity of life. And it's just sitting there on Gov. J.B. Pritzker's desk, waiting for his progressive pen to make it official.

In the witching hour just after midnight on All Hallows' Eve, Illinois Senate Democrats bulldozed this death-on-demand legislation through in a 30-27 vote, capping off a House passage back in May. The measure would green-light doctors to hand out lethal prescriptions to terminal patients with six months or less to live, because this is how the left views "compassion."

But here's where it gets even more insidious: Conservative watchdogs are sounding the alarm that this isn't just about "choice," it's a full-frontal assault on faith-based medicine, forcing Christian physicians and hospitals to play along with the grim reaper's playbook.

"You're not just allowing physicians to give people deadly drugs to kill themselves, but you're actually forcing us or people of faith, to be part of it, to promote it," Peter Breen, head of litigation at the Thomas More Society, laid it out bluntly to conservative outlet The Daily Wire. "I know of no other state where the legislature has gone this far in restricting the religious liberty rights of people of faith."

Sure, the bill pays lip service to opt-outs for doctors who won't pull the trigger themselves. But Breen isn't buying it.

 Buried in the fine print are mandates that would compel institutions and physicians to refer patients to the poison pill parade and even advertise the "opportunity" to check out early. It's coercion dressed up as consent.

Worse, Breen warns, the language would tie the hands of Christian hospitals, making it impossible to boot a doctor who peddles assisted dying on the side, on or off campus. Because why stop at killing the patient when you can kill religious liberty too?

Ten states plus D.C. already flirt with this folly on both coasts, but Illinois? This would plant the flag of euthanasia smack in America's heartland, a beacon for the terminally ill from flyover country, and beyond.

"Illinois would become the first state in the middle of the country to enact assisted suicide," Breen hammered home. "There’s a significant concern that this is going to turn Illinois into a suicide tourism state."

What the Prairie State Democrats are peddling here is beyond the pale, a direct middle finger to Christian ethics that value life until the last breath. The Illinois Catholic Conference has blasted the bill and begged Biggie Pritzker to spike it like a bad shot.

Pritzker eyes the other sandwich

Even Breen, no fan of the governor's hard-left bona fides, clings to a sliver of optimism: Pritzker might actually veto this monstrosity over the First Amendment fallout. Fingers crossed, because the guy's track record isn't exactly a rosary of restraint.

For his part, Pritzker's playing the empathy card without committing. "I know how terrible it is that someone who's in the last six months of their life could be experiencing terrible pain and anguish. And I know people who’ve gone through that," he mused Monday. "It hits me deeply and makes me wonder about, you know, how we can alleviate the pain that they’re going through?"

If he inks this abomination, though? Game on. Breen vows the Thomas More Society will haul Illinois into court faster than you can say "equal protection." They've already tangled with the state over a prior outrage forcing pro-life pregnancy centers to shill for abortion, talk about déjà vu from hell. Let's hope the judge's gavel rings louder than the Democrats' death knell.

Democratic Rep. calls for death to GOP's 2 adopted kids and family

A state Democratic lawmaker is being pressured to resign after she called for the deaths of the two adopted children and wife of a Republican lawmaker with whom she disagrees. She said this during a speech on the floor this week because she's so very classy.

Democrat Rep. Stephanie Kifowit [her friends call her 'Kifowitless'] said she wanted to pump a "broth of Legionella" into Republican Rep. Peter Breen's water system so that his wife and children would "be infected" and "ultimately die."

"I would like to make him a broth of Legionella and pump it into the water system of his loved ones so that they can be infected, they can be mistreated, they can sit and suffer by getting aspirin instead of being properly treated and ultimately die," Kifowit said in a fit of mindless, irrational rage.

Kifowit's disgusting remark "came just before the Illinois House voted 71-36 to override Gov. Bruce Rauner’s amendatory veto of a bill to increase the cap the state pays in civil litigation cases from $100,000 to $2 million," The Chicago Sun-Times reported.

It's almost as if the Illinois House wanted to prevent the state from going bankrupt or something equally as malevolent.

A few minutes after Kifowit's shocking statement, Republican Rep. Jeanne Ives came to Breen’s defense on the legislative floor and gave the b**ch a well-deserved tongue-lashing:

"How dare you concoct up some sort of story about brewing up some batch of Legionella and having him feed it to his family, How dare you take the discussion and the debate about a very serious bill that has a huge cost consequence on both sides, both for the victim and the state taxpayers. How dare you take an honest debate about an issue and then wish death on my colleague Peter Breen, his wife and his two adopted kids."

The Washington Post reports that Kifowit is now facing calls to resign [and get help] after wishing for the death of her Republican colleague, who has two adopted sons, ages 2 years and 2 months.

"She launched her attack against me and my family, and really, it was shock," Rep. Breen said. "It was out of left field. Had Rep. Kisowit made those statements in the parking lot, or left a message on an answering machine in my office, she would be in custody."

Kifowit's statement was so screwed up that the "House voted 110-0 Wednesday to expunge Kifowit's statement from the record," the Daily Herald reported. Her words from a person in her position, are an embarrassment to the Illinois House.

Sounding a lot like Marc Lamont Hill, Kifowit initially claimed that her words were "twisted and misrepresented." Her words were very clear and unmistakeable. She called for the death of Breen's family in no uncertain terms.

Rep. Breen's wife and adopted children, ages 2 and 2 months, are doing fine.
