From State Rep Allen Skillicorn:
Skillicorn Denounces Dark of Night Abortion Bill Tactics
SPRINGFIELD – Following the use of a legislative “gut and replace” ploy by Speaker Madigan and Illinois Democrats to circumvent reasonable public notice requirements, State Representative Allen Skillicorn (R-Crystal Lake) denounced the dark of night tactics.
The legislation in question, House Floor Amendment 1 to Senate Bill 25, would drastically expand the use of abortion to any point during pregnancy and remove protections for infants born alive during failed abortions.
“It is unconscionable that Speaker Madigan and Illinois Democrats have employed these dark of night tactics,” said Skillicorn.
“Holding a Sunday night hearing on an hour’s notice for an extreme piece of legislation sends a clear message to Illinoisans that your right to weigh in means nothing to the majority party.
“People of all stripes from across the state have expressed serious concern about the extreme nature of this proposal and, as our constitution expresses, they should have been given reasonable notice to express their right to be heard.”
“Holding a Sunday night hearing on an hour’s notice for an extreme piece of legislation sends a clear message to Illinoisans that your right to weigh in means nothing to the majority party. ”
The ‘games’ being played by Madigan and the Democrats in Springfield are also played monthly by the McHenry County Board Chairman.
In addition to the short notice of meetings, committee members are being replaced with members who favor whatever baby killing, gun grabbing, taxpayer screwing legislation that Madigan and the Democrats want to ram through with their billionaire tax dodging puppet as governor.
