As you all know, here in the 45th District, we stand for traditional values, real conservatism, and protecting both life and the hardworking taxpayers of Illinois. That’s why I have a responsibility to speak out when dangerous legislation comes forward.
House Bill 5408 would create a state-run fund to bankroll abortions for individuals without insurance or with inadequate coverage. Even worse, this fund would be financed by a mandatory $1 monthly charge on certain health insurance plans under the Affordable Care Act. In other words, Illinois families would be forced, once again, to subsidize abortions whether they support it or not.
This bill has already passed the Illinois House and is now headed to the Senate. It has the full backing of our abortion-loving Governor J.B. Pritzker and the out-of-touch Democrat majority pushing it forward.
Let me be clear. I will vote no. I will stand for the unborn and against forcing taxpayers to fund this agenda.
But the reality is this. With one-party control in Springfield, bills like this are likely to pass unless people speak up.
That’s where you come in. Call your legislators. Make your voice heard. This is not just another bad bill. It is a direct attack on life and another example of government overreach at your expense.
If we don’t stand now, they will keep going further.
