A central Illinois lawmaker is blasting Governor JB Pritzker's attempt to censor pro-life centers' advertisements because he doesn't agree with it.
On the WHOW Morning Show Thursday, State Senator Chapin Rose told Regional Radio a judge's opinion called it 'stupid and most likely unconstitutional'. He says this is all an appeal to the radical base of Democrats.
According to Sen. Rose, this is all about a bigger issue of progressives trying to censor speech in a free society. He believes Illinois Republicans need to do a better job of organizing to fight back against these damaging policies.
The Mahomet Republican also points out the fight for these values needs to be taken to your local school board. He explains the Governor understands this as he got involved in several school board elections in the Chicago-land area this spring.
As for the pro-life speech lawsuit, an injunction was upheld which puts a restraint on the law while it gets figured it out in court. Sen. Rose this is rather significant because it is rare for a State law to be put on hold by the courts unless there is a clear violation of the constitution.
