Defining moment, ha!
Here's the original law that was proposed to be amended. It clearly states that in the case of an aborted baby being born alive the doctor by law must work to preserve the health of the fetus. This was used to argue that the amendment was not necessary.
720#^&ILCS#^&510/#^&#^&Illinois Abortion Law of 1975..
Considering that abortion is regulated by the states, an amendment that gave specific rights to a living aborted fetus was clearly designed to challenge Roe V Wade...when there was already law on the books giving the living baby legal protection in the state.
Sure, there's some politics at play here...but your accusation of infanticide is bogus.
