Democratic Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed a law that will prohibit religious and mission-based institutions from hiring or firing employees for having had an abortion.
Earlier this month, Pritzker signed HB 4867, an amendment to the Illinois Human Rights Act, as part of a package of abortion-related laws, including one that forces all insurers to cover abortions. The state’s “Human Rights Act” is now amended to outlaw “discrimination” in employment and other scenarios based on “reproductive health care decisions.”
This means that religious employers such as Catholic parishes and schools would be unable to fire an employee who shows through the abortion of an unborn child or pursuit of in vitro fertilization that they are fundamentally at odds with their employer’s mission and principles.

When we succumb to single-party governance dominated by the "party of Democracy" you can also expect them to pass laws (or at least try) that require churches (ie Orthodox and Catholic) to ordain women.
