Gubernatorial Candidate Pritzker Vows to Veto McCann Reproductive Rights Appropriation Repeal — Will Gov. Rauner Join Him?
Targeted News Service
CHICAGO, Illinois, Sept. 10 -- J.B. Pritzker, a Democrat running for Illinois Governor, issued the following campaign news release:
Reproductive rights are in imminent danger if Republicans get their way. On Friday, Sam McCann filed a bill in the General Assembly to repeal HB 40 and "return provisions that would bring Illinois in line with federal law in the event that Roe v. Wade is overturned."
At the same time, Donald Trump and Bruce Rauner are fully supporting a radical Supreme Court nominee who could overturn Roe v. Wade. Months ago, JB Pritzker signed Personal PAC's pledge to uphold HB 40 as governor while Rauner refused, and he opposes Kavanaugh's confirmation to the nation's highest court. So, will Rauner join JB in vowing to veto this HB 40 repeal?
"Unlike Bruce Rauner who waffled on HB 40 and supports a Supreme Court nominee who could overturn Roe v. Wade, JB Pritzker has always stood up for a woman's right to choose and will fiercely defend that right as governor," said Pritzker campaign communications director Galia Slayen. "JB opposes this draconian rollback of reproductive rights and would veto an HB 40 repeal if it reached his desk -- but the question remains: will Rauner join him or will this failed governor abandon Illinois women once again?"
