					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Alyssa Sonnenburg</em></p>
<p>On February 18, <strong>President Donald J. Trump</strong> signed an executive order that expands access to In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF).</p>
<p>According to the <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/02/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-expands-access-to-in-vitro-fertilization-ivf/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White House</a>,</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="background-color: #ffff99;">“The Order recognizes the importance of family formation and that our Nation’s public policy must make it easier for loving and longing mothers and fathers to have children.”</span></p></blockquote>
<p>The executive order goes on to cite the dangerously low fertility rate America is currently facing, as well as the difficulty many families are having as they try to have children.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/02/ivf-is-not-pro-life/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Enough Republicans are feeling likewise that Newsweek reports a program started by the Harris campaign—&#8221;Republicans for Harris&#8221;—which is intentionally catering to Republicans who are rejecting Trump.</span>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/09/kamala-harris-and-the-pro-choice-gop/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>There have been a lot of laughs at <strong>President Joseph R. Biden’s</strong> expense since his disastrous debate with former <strong>President Trump</strong> on Thursday, June 28.</p>
<p>Democrats have been in a state of panic since then.</p>
<p><em>USA Today</em> on June 30 <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/06/30/poll-biden-mental-age-debate/74262195007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> the shocking results of a CBS/You Gov National Survey in which 72% of voters –  as well as nearly half of his party – said they do not believe Biden has the mental or cognitive capacity to serve as president.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/07/this-political-moment-is-no-laughing-matter/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>For those of us in blue states, it isn’t a stretch to imagine how this would play out for the Second Amendment.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/04/downgrading-the-right-to-life/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>
