Conservative lawmakers at the Illinois Capitol are trying to roll back a new law that'd have taxpayer money pay for abortions in the state.
State Rep. Peter Breen and State Senator Dan McConchie yesterday filed a piece of legislation to stop Illinois from covering elective abortions for women on Medicaid.
Breen said the state may end up spending 30 million-dollars on abortions under the law that Governor Rauner signed just a few weeks ago. McConchie says Illinois can't afford that cost.
