The measure also removes language in Illinois law that states a desire to criminalize abortion if a 1973 U.S. Supreme Court ruling legalizing the procedure is overturned. Democrats initially sold the bill as a means of keeping abortion legal if Roe v. Wade were dumped.
Another swamp rat Republican. Planned Parenthood and other abortion clinics get $1.8 million in abortion funding - blood money to end the lives of unborn children.
This guy is the epitome of the word swamp rat. He ran as a Republican, and his wife is a lifelong Democrat. It sounds like despite saying he would have no social agenda, he supported expanding coverage as a candidate. However, he then backtracked last April. Now he has flipped and signed the bill - appeasing Democrats and the abortion industry. Because of the provision to continue access to abortion post Roe vs. Wade being overturned (if it is) and just the number of babies that will be killed per year because of this ($1.8 million can end a lot of lives), this will lead to the deaths of thousands and thousands of unborn children.
Primary this guy, Illinois conservatives. If a Democrat wins in the general, it wouldn't be a difference anyway.
So when does he go to jail along with all the other former Illinois governors?
That bastard is political toast.
This is what ILLINOIS TAXES will now provide:
Provide free Medicaid abortions with no restrictions. Abortions would be covered for any reason through the nine months of pregnancy, even if an unborn baby feels pain and can survive outside the womb.
Remove the ban on state employees’ insurance policies paying for abortions.
Provide no monetary cap to the number of abortions that could be covered by Medicaid.
Remove language concerning the General Assembly’s declaration that the unborn child is a human being from the time of conception and is, therefore, a legal person for purposes of the unborn child’s right to life.
This is why we GOTTA hold our noses for Rauner! We just GOTTA!
Murdering 9 month unborn babies..and a Republican signed this!!! I guess in Illinois, a Republican Governor is just a Democrat one, but better dressed..maybe
He stupidly thinks it will help him politically.
Good riddance.
And while we’re on the subject, when is the Planned Parenthood defunding?
Eugenics. Kill those black babies before they bring up the crime stats! /sarcasm
Sad
That pretty much goes for all of them. Enough of the GOP. Much more than enough.
“He often campaigned with his wife, Diana Rauner, who calls herself a “lifelong Democrat.”
There’s that Republican “BIG TENT” for ya.
RINO Governor just Democrated on the Republican platform.
See now, besides the UTTER HORROR of this, as a gambling man myself, WHY would you take the chance on rolling the dice that there is no God?
How can the risk be worth it?
Third party, anyone ?
It seem to me there should be a trade-off.
If you want the government to help you with your health care, you need to give something back.
You accept the fact you will not get one dime of our tax dollars for an abortion.
End of negotiations.
Abortions are the left’s evil sacrament. Is this being done in honor of Hefner?
The most sickening bunch of politicians of both stripes can be found in ILL-ANNOY. Think Luis Guitierrez ... Little Dick Durbin ... Mark Kirk ... Ray LaHood ... Rauner the fraud
With Republicans like this, who needs Democrats?
RINO
That motherf****r needs to be defeated by any means necessary.
Yet another Republican who has ‘evolved’.
