Illinois reaction pours in after U.S. Supreme Court leak on abortion decision – Center Square

In Illinois, abortions are legal up to 22 weeks after gestation and there is no more parental notification requirement. Illinois has the Reproductive Health Act on the books with expanded abortion rights. Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed that into law in 2019.

With all the talk about ‘systemic racism’ there’s no comment on the disproportionate number of black babies who are aborted. Let’s consider who aborts babies … as reported by the Guttmacher Institute for 2014 per 1,000 women between 15-44: Blacks – 27.1 per 1,000 (13.55% of U.S. 2020 Population*/38% of abortions) Hispanic – 18.1 per 1,000 (*does not breakdown by Hispanic) Non-Hispanic – 16.3 per 1,000 (*does not breakdown by non-Hispanic) White – 10 per 1,000 (75.8% of U.S. 2020 Population*/14% of abortions) https://www.guttmacher.org/infographic/2017/abortion-rates-race-and-ethnicity *https://www.statista.com/statistics/183489/population-of-the-us-by-ethnicity-since-2000/ What is also ironic is that when it comes to COVID-19 vaccines, government and private… Read more »

~Black women are only 7% of the population but have 38% of all abortions, not 13.55%.

How can “My body/my choice” apply to one and not the other?

They say that only they can use this argument. It doesn’t apply to the vaccine mandates, according to them.

J B Pritzker and his band of democratic demons with his mouth piece Kelly Cassidy are nothing but murders of the unborn.

Cassidy is the worst: an ugly, degenerate, moloch worshiping degenerate. And she doesn’t care what people think of her, nothing anyone can say or do will ever make her change her mind. She will never be voted out of office. All we can hope for is that her degeneracy and greed gets her in trouble and she finds herself indicted for something. Anyone who advocates for the murdering of children as the come out of the womb has no morals, surely there is some illegal activity she participates in.

Anything that makes liberals go berserk puts a smile on my face. Let’s hope that many of them will consider suicide as their own form of supporting abortion and thereby teaching those darn conservatives a lesson.

What a statesmen. If abortion is your bread and butter issue, maybe it’s time to take stock of your humanity.

Pritzker is morally bankrupt. The first thing he did after getting into office was legalize weed and expand gambling. Talk about a real class act. Then he started to empty the prisons. The guy is the bottom of the barrel.

Imagine facing bleak electoral prospects. Now imagine trying to animate your voter base by codifying killing of the unborn in federal law because it’s unacceptable to leave such decisions to voters within each state. Now imagine trying to animate your voter base by making healthy humans were face masks. Now imagine trying to animate your voter base by telling them you’ll mandate experimental injections. Now imagine trying to animate your voter base by telling them they must send tens of billions of their tax dollars to fund war in an extremely corrupt country half way around the world that does… Read more »

Let’s hope those odds improve – problem is that so many people are spoon-fed infotainment in place of what’s really happening.

News is no longer factual or unbiased. Sad state of affairs.

Chicago Teachers Union contract demands are totally divorced from reality – Wirepoints

Details emerging about Chicago Teachers Union’s upcoming contract show just how divorced its demands, both extreme and expensive, are from the reality at Chicago schools. It’s not just about massive salary increases, but also about money for migrant students, climate initiatives, abortions and gender-affirming care. About blocking parental notification. Count on CTU’s demands to veer further from reality until the public finally says no.

Gov. Pritzker’s ‘ethics reform’ eliminates competitive elections and choice for voters – Wirepoints on AM 560 Chicago’s Morning Answer

Ted joined Dan and Amy to talk about a new law passed by the Democratic supermajority and signed by Gov. J.B. Pritzker that results in brazen election interference, keeping Republicans off ballots; about a referendum that tests the waters for a renewed progressive income tax hike; about how the Parental Notification referendum question was knocked off the ballot; and why laws like that pass so easily.

Chicago needs more champions of literacy like Willie Wilson – Wirepoints

It’s rare to see city leaders in Chicago take an open, unabashed stance on the collapse of literacy. To complain is deemed as too political, too racist or too anti-public schools. So it’s refreshing to see Willie Wilson, a successful businessman and leader of the black community, call for a literacy initiative “with the goal of getting 100% of Black students reading at grade level.”
