On Thursday, the Republican governor of Illinois, Bruce Rauner, signed the controversial House Bill 40 into law. HB 40 contains language that will ensure abortion remains legal in Illinois if Roe v. Wade is overturned. More importantly, HB 40 would also require taxpayer funding of abortion for low income women through Illinois’ Medicaid program. In April, Rauner indicated that he would oppose the legislation because of “sharp divisions of opinion” about public subsidies for abortion. However, the governor apparently had a change of heart and signed the bill into law this week. What is interesting – and disheartening – for pro-lifers is that Illinois is the first state where taxpayer funding of abortion came about through the democratic process. The Hyde Amendment places strict limits on the ability of the federal government to fund abortion through Medicaid. However, states have always been free to pursue their own policy. Prior to today, 15 states funded abortion through Medicaid. In eleven of these states, the policy was imposed through a judicial ruling. In the four other states, health departments simply decided Medicaid would cover elective abortions. As such, Governor Rauner made history in an ignominious way.

A Democrat in an R jersey.
There are lots of them.
Alexander, Corker, Flake, Graham, Hatch, Heller, Hoeven, Murkowsky, McCain, Rubio, Gardner, Burr, Tillis, Portman, McConnell, Thune, Cornyn, Cochran, Isackson, Blunt, Johnson, Toomey, Capito, Rounds, Fischer, Collins, Wicker, Sasse, Ernst, Young, Boozman and Shelby are all undocumented Democrats in R jerseys.
Politically, Illinois is a lost cause.
Funny how a RINO wants to fund a organization started by a witch that wanted to kill black babies....
If the Rebubican party had a backbone they would kick this POS out of the party!
That's what happens. A lot of these RINOs didn't want to wait in line to get to the top of the ticket in the D category so they went the R route. Time to clean them out with the Trump revolution.
Don’t call him a Rino. Call him baby killer.
You voted for Rat bastards, you can go to Hell with them.
Illinois Repubs are like New Jersey GOP- RINO at best and more likely Democrat lite.
I agree with you in part. But serioously I am thinking of moving to wisconsin soon. I promise you if I come live there I will help conservative causes any way i can.
“Please Illinoisans, don’t come to WI. We love our Governor and our Republican majority legislature and conservative state Supreme Court. We are about to get Constitutional carry.
You voted for Rat bastards, you can go to Hell with them. “
Don’t worry mate if this FIB moves to WI you will be gaining a right vote. And ì gainsay most of the rest of the refugees from illannoy would be like minded. The tumor is in shitcago
and the rest of us would NOT californicate WI.
In the meantime see what you can do about cleaning out the shitholes of Madison and Milwaukee.
"That to compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions, which he disbelieves is sinful and tyrannical;” —Thomas Jefferson, Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom
The holy grail of the left is to force the people to pay for abortion, sex “change” operations, aids care and euthanasia for elderly Whites.
As a former IL resident and WI resident, I share your sentiments. Now that I live in the great, free state of TN, I entirely share your sentiments about IL residents who’ve let this horror happen.
If Bruce Rauner runs for re-election he will lose by record numbers. It has been a long time since a Governor is 100% certain to lose and lose big!
Makes him an accessory to mass murder.
There is some speculation now that That ruiner will not run again. I don't know. But I will never ever vote for him again under any circumstances.
OK - he welcomes illegals and pays to abort the poor.... that will work out well for the RINO.... NOT,
They are erasing babies and replacing them with illegal immigrants.
There is no diffierence between the average Republican and Dummycrats, both parties are infested with Marxists.
I will only vote for explicitly Pro-Trump candidates in all future elections. Loyalty to the GOP is no virtue; Trump is the only one we can trust
