Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker launched a TV spot on Tuesday criticizing Republican challenger Darren Bailey.
Pritzker’s ad, which notes Bailey’s opposition to abortion in all cases except to save the life of the mother, ends with the tagline “too extreme for Illinois.”The Oct. 12, 2017, Facebook video was recorded shortly after then-Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner signed legislation authorizing taxpayer funded abortions for poor women. “I believe that abortion is one of the greatest atrocities of our day and I believe it’s one of the greatest atrocities probably forever” Bailey says in the video.
“It is demeaning to the legacies of those we’ve lost to reduce their suffering to a political talking point,” Morgan said. “Darren Bailey is once again causing harm with his callous words and actions and he must be held accountable for this abhorrent behavior.” “With violent antisemitism on the rise and in the wake of a massacre against the predominantly Jewish Highland Park, Bailey must answer for his hateful comments,” Glezer said.
