Think Big America is the organization founded and primarily funded by Gov. JB Pritzker. It’s now putting up billboards focused on reproductive rights in and around Milwaukee, Wisconsin, ahead of next week’s Republican National Convention.
According to a report this week from Bloomberg, one billboard reads, “MAGA extremists are in town this week to nominate a president who wants a national abortion ban. Stop them. Vote.” And a Think Big Spokesperson told Bloomberg, “Thanks to Donald Trump and his allies, access to contraception, IVF [fertility treatments], and all reproductive health care is now at risk.”
However, both the Republican Party Platform and Trump say the opposite about a national abortion bill and IVF. “We will oppose Late Term Abortion, while supporting mothers and policies that advance Prenatal Care, access to Birth Control, and IVF, says the platform. Trump was instrumental in drafting the platform and wrote some of it. Trump himself has said clearly that he would not sign a federal abortion ban.
Trump has also firmly supported access to IVF, along with most every other major Republican. “I strongly support the availability of IVF for couples who are trying to have a precious little beautiful baby,” Trump has said. In addition, Senate Republicans unanimously signed an open letter saying they “strongly support continued nationwide access to IVF” and offered their own bill protecting IVF.
Granted, Trump is dishonest far too often. But for Trump and his party to violate their party’s platform and breach commitments so clearly made would be extraordinary, and is extremely unlikely.
Also this week, the Democratic National Committee began putting up billboards in Wisconsin tying Trump to Project 2025, which is a plan to drastically reduce the size of government spearheaded by the Heritage Foundation. A broader ad campaign making the same point is also being launched. But Trump has denied any agreement with the plan multiple times and said, “I disagree with some of the things they’re saying and some of the things they’re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal. Anything they do, I wish them luck, but I have nothing to do with them.”

Audio and summary
If this bill passes, say goodbye to local control over all Illinois parks and expect to see open drug and alcohol use, needles, no sanitation and fire hazards, but no ordinary park users.
The fat man is pushing social crap that doesn’t mean anything. There are so many more important thing to fix in this state….but hell, He wont fix the state, so better to move on to social programs and not worry about the freight train coming at the tax payors.
These ninny’s cant prioritize anything. First is safety – that went by by years ago. Then Fiscal Responsibility – same. Then corruption – same. Can’t fix the important stuff, better to go after the social programs and enhance their visibility.
Pigster think big? He is big, a big fat piece of sh*t communist pig.
While it may be more dishonesty the real issue is that the media blasts it from the rooftops and the people believe it. Such gullibility but, considering the Illinois School report card results, one can understand it.
Left-wingers like Pritzker muddy the dialogue by lumping together abortion, birth control and IVF. Glennon goes along with them by using their term “reproductive rights.”
Abortion promoters use euphemisms like “reproductive health care” to hide the ugliness of abortion.
Fair point. I never thought about it before.
Florian and KD, your comments are pure Nazi drivel.
As expected, the last gasp of the hateful brainless left in any argument: When all else fails, yell ‘nazi’. Straight out of Rules For Radicals.
Eileen, you seem to be overlooking the facts. Which group promotes one race over the other? The Left, through its black supremacist DEI and Critical Race Theory nonsense. Which group seeks to eliminate a race it deems unfavorable? The Left, in its efforts to replace whites by bringing illegals across the border and encouraging miscegenation among the young and fertile. Which group is robbing another group of its hard-earned wealth and resources? The Left, through its never-ending spiral of new taxes and inflation. Which group terrorizes the other? The Left, through its Antifa and BLM paramilitary groups. Only one group… Read more »
Antifa tried to kill the president today.
Pritzker is a talking pile of BS, but Trump needs to explicitly say what he is committing to when it comes to abortion. It is not a Federal issue to decide. End of story.
how much more explicit can he get?
He supports the abortion issue being returned to the states as has been done.
He has clearly stated he will not sign a federal abortion ban.
Just what here is not clear to you, Ex?
It’s clear to me Anna, but when JP is spreading lines you explicitly call him out and control the narrative. Engage your brain.
Here’s our list of Pritzker’s whoppers from a couple years ago. It’s due for an update: https://wirepoints.org/catalog-of-deceit-a-list-of-jb-pritzkers-falsehoods-and-whoppers-wirepoints/
Democrats are now openly fessing up that Joe Biden’s presidency has been all kabuki theater – just one big sham pulled on America, that has been enabled by the MSM (NBC, CBS, ABC, WaPo, NYT, etc) So when Democrats are comfortable with Biden’s level of corruption and fraud, is it any wonder that ‘the lie’ is Democrats means of doing things? It’s why Joe Biden and JB Pritzker choose to lie nearly all the time about seemingly everything – it’s who they are as Democrats.
Another political group financed by JB!? What a surprise! I have never heard Republicans against IVF. If Dems are for women’s rights, why are they for biological males in women’s sports, locker rooms and bathrooms? All those things are anti woman. And is someone can’t decide to have an abortion by the beginning of the 3rd trimester, put the baby up for adoption. In the 3rd trimester, the fetus is viable. JB- a liar and most likely corrupt. That’s why people fleeing IL. He bought the governor seat last time with his millions.
Have you seen Jennifer Pritzker,JB’s cousin?
Let’s drop the JB and start calling him by his real name. Bet his doesn’t like it.
Jay Robert Pritzker.
Democrats think that Trump and the Republican platform are lying just like they do.
“Granted Trump is dishonest far to often” is something I read far to often, without any specifics. I’ve seen a couple of his interviews and speeches and do not hear dishonesty. Can you provide some specific dishonesty, Mark?
Search list of Trump lies and you will find many lists. Here is one from NYT. Of course, many on this list are wrong, because NYT lies, too, but the list of what are accurately called lies is still long. Just for the record, while I think Trump lies far too often, I think Biden’s lies are much more frequent and more flagrant. Many of Trump’s lies are at least directionally correct and are often just exaggerations. More importantly, I think lying is far, far more prevalent on the left than on the right. The entire far left establishment, including… Read more »
Ron DeSantis tells lies also. There, have all the bases covered between ‘white lies’ and Pritzkers whoppers.
At some point both Trump and Biden
Along with others in both parties will
Understand truth”Veritas Vincit”.
Let’s hope, William. I sure long for that day.
Biden turned the Secret Service against Trump this afternoon, Mark, and the media is already lying to the public on his behalf about the aftermath. Truth is not all on Biden’s mind, I’m afraid.
Obvious antifa op, maybe BLM. Cmon Rochowicz, open your eyes.
