Leverenz Proposes Constitutional Amendment on Abortion
State Rep. Ted Leverenz introduces a constitutional amendment to severely restrict abortion. The plan would let states approve abortions only if the mother’s physical or psychological well being is at stake, decide via a state medical panel, and allow custody of the unborn if denied. Ratification would require state conventions, not legislatures.

Catholics urged to join anti abortion effort in Chicago area
A Chicago Archdiocese letter read in area churches urged Catholics to support the right to life and add their names to a life roll. Parishioners reported hundreds of cards filled, with leaders saying the aim is to inform voters rather than pick candidates. The initiative sparked mixed views among parishioners on church involvement in politics and calls for a constitutional amendment defining life to include the unborn.
