Bills to enact medically-assisted suicide and to tighten home school regulation proposed in Illinois state legislature

Democratic lawmakers in Illinois are pushing the envelope on physician assisted suicide and home schooling in separate bills at the General Assembly.

This week, our video calls attention to two bills making their way through the Illinois state legislature, one aimed at increasing the regulations on families who homeschool their children, and another that would allow physician-assisted suicide in Illinois.
