“Heroic” is how Occupy Democrats, the “#1 Democratic organization on social media,” described a proposed Illinois bill to provide tax credit for doctors who perform abortions and/or chemical castration of minors, and teachers who assign pornography to students.
The bill, proposed by lesbian Illinois State Rep. Kelly Cassidy (D-Chicago), “shows what real Democratic leadership looks like,” posted Occupy Democrats.
Chicago City Wire reported on the legislation:
The bill offers the $500 credit to any porn teacher or abortion and/or child mutilation specialist who ‘permanently relocates during the taxable year to this State from a State with more restrictive abortion laws or more restrictive laws concerning the access to (child mutilation procedures)… or (pornography) restrictions on educational materials imposed by the taxpayer’s state of origin.’
The 56-year-old Cassidy, who refers to herself as “Illinois’ lesbian lawmaker”, said her bill is a “win-win”:
In a world where families & LGBTQ folks are facing impossible choices, we want to offer a hand up for those fleeing for their safety from states banning health care & speech. In turn, these new residents will bring their talents & contributions to our communities. It’s a win-win. https://t.co/IcjyS5P6Y6

Cassidy happens to be “married” to Candace Gingrich, the half-sister of former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.)
Last year, Cassidy said opposition to a bill requiring public girls’ bathrooms to allow men who dress like women was akin to “physical violence” and “puts people at risk”, reported Chicago City Wire.
Cassidy also proposed legislation last year that would, among other measures, force insurers to provide abortion drugs and chemical castration drugs at no cost.
