After the Danville City Council voted to approve an ordinance that would ban abortion access in the city, Attorney General Kwame Raoul released this statement that reads, in part, "Let me be clear: all residents of Illinois continue to enjoy the fundamental rights guaranteed to them under state law, and my office will continue to ensure that all localities in the state understand that access to reproductive health care is a fundamental right in Illinois."

Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.

Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
The state’s existing buyout program for its own pensions is the precedent for Chicago, which should be a warning: Look out for similar exaggerated claims and shoddy analysis.

Kwame, what’s your position on Zyklon B?
Legally illiterate Raoul doesn’t understand that a duly passed law stands until a court or legislature says otherwise
While crime is rampant in Chicago streets Kwame concerns himself with forcing Chicago values upon downstate small communities with differing values.
Meanwhile the likes of Michael Madigan types rest easy at night knowing that the State’s legal structure ignores their crimes similarly while pushing individual citizens around. This is the desired life structure of Illinois because the voters demanded it.
Kwame- Why don’t you say to the people abstinence/virginity until you are older and ready you will avoid the need to have an abortion. Try to control your impulses and if you can’t talk to a doctor about birth control and safe sex to avoid STD’s. If you do not get pregnant “Abortion” is just a word in the dictionary. .
F U Kwame, you’re noting but a baby murder.
