The Illinois governor is taking his abortion-rights advocacy nationwide
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker is taking his abortion-rights advocacy nationwide, introducing on Wednesday a political organization to fund similar efforts outside Illinois, a state that legalized abortion by statute even before the Supreme Court invalidated the right to undergo the procedure. Think Big America has already funded support for constitutional amendments favoring abortion access in Ohio, Arizona and Nevada. Fourteen states now ban abortion and debate elsewhere rages since the U.S.
A three-person board directing operations for Think Big America includes Desiree Rogers, former White House social secretary under President Barack Obama; Chicago state Rep. Margaret Croke; and Chicago Alderwoman Michelle Harris. Despite a long progressive agenda, there are few issues on which Pritzker has been more vocal than abortion access.
