people instead of killing them. if you live in illinois, tough luck, you re not wanted there. that state passed a law that requires all doctors, pharmacists, and pregnancy centers to assist pregnant women in getting abortions, even if they are morally opposed to killing. dr. robert walworth is an obstetrician, he s fighting this new law and he joins us now. i just want to make sure were not mischaracterizing this, you re a pro-life position, you think abortion is the taking of ais life. if you are morally opposed to it. you are now required by the state of illinois to facilitate it or to recommend a place to get one if asked? that s correct. we re supposed to counsel the patient on the purported benefits of abortion whichct of course there are none. if asked to provide a referral for an abortion, provide a list of nearby abortion facilities
