Governor Rauner has entered treacherous political waters and made his decision on House Bill 40, the legislation that expands abortion coverage for women insured by medicaid and the state employees group insurance.
Rauner said one of the reasons he signed the legislation is because he believes pro-choice decisions shouldn't be based on a woman's bank balance.
Rauner said he tried to find a political solution on the issue but there seemed to be no middle ground available.
The legislation would also prevent abortions from becoming illegal if Roe V Wade is overturned by the Supreme Court.
