It is not illegal at the present time is the problem. The bill was
in part an attempt to make it illegal, as the practice was ongoing in
Illinois hospitals. Can you point to a single case of prosecution
that would indicate the state thought it to be illegal?

See, this is wrong.
I guess you are saying this because the final bill did not contain
language
making this practice illegal. You're right; it did not. But neither
did it
have any language making drunk driving, embezzlement, or kidnapping
illegal--does that make them legal? Of course not. The fact is, this
practice was -already- illegal; it is homicide according to existing
Illinois law.
So, the statement that it's legal is just plain wrong.
In what way is that not support for at least passive Infanticide?
Well, in the way that it is not support for infanticide at all.
