I am Pro-Life. The fundamental sanctity of human life is the cornerstone of our democratic society and an integral part of my faith and my conscience. Illinois recently became the first state to enact a law that uses taxpayer funds to pay for abortions. Under no circumstance should the tax dollars of hard-working Illinoisans be allotted for the taking of innocent life. I am committed to the full repeal of this measure, previously known as House Bill 40, and will stand with any other like-minded lawmakers in Springfield, of either party, to get this done.
