Abortion on Demand Group Endorses Sager and Ness

Personal PAC, the funding group that supports abortion with no restrictions, has endorsed two candidates in contested Democratic Party State Rep. races:

  • Suzanne Ness
  • Brian Sager

Ness is a first-time McHenry County Board member running against Jim Malone of Carpentersville.

In the General Election, the winner will face off against either State Rep. Allen Skillicorn or County Board member Carolyn Schofield.

Sager is the long-time Mayor of Woodstock opposing anti-Mike Madigan Democratic State Central Committeeman Peter Janko of Marengo.

The Republicans have incumbent State Rep. Steve Reick on the ballot.

Abortion on Demand Group Endorses Sager and Ness — 8 Comments

  1. What if the mothers of ALL of the members of the funding group had abortions on them?

    They would never have been born.

  2. Might want to also include in the 65th district, which includes portions of Huntley, most notably Sun City, the same pro-abortion group endorsed Martha Paschke over Kane County Board Member Mo Iqbal, in the contested Democratic primary.

  3. Is there any explanation why the pro-choice group backed a guy who was a Republican official until July 2016 (Sager was a precinct committeeman in Greenwood Township) instead of someone who is already in a leadership role in the Democratic Party (Janko is the 14th district State Central Committeeman)?

    Janko didn’t just come out of nowhere in 2018 either. While Sager was running in the 2016 primary to be a Republican precinct committeeman, Janko was running to be a delegate for Bernie Sanders.

    Janko has been involved with the Democratic Party since Sager represented the Republican Party.

    The Illinois Republican Party’s platform says this about the issue of life.

    “We support a human life amendment to the federal and Illinois constitutions affirming the right
    to life of unborn children, and we support making clear that the Fourteenth Amendment’s
    protections apply to unborn children.

    We advocate the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

    We oppose the use of taxpayer funds to pay for abortions or to support organizations that
    perform abortions, that participate in the purchase or sale of fetal tissue or organs, or that create
    and destroy human embryos for the harvesting of stem cells for research or treatment purposes.

    We believe that the practices of partial birth and late-term abortion are so morally repugnant that
    we specifically, and strongly, affirm our opposition to those practices.

    We believe that physicians should be required to notify a minor child’s parents or guardians prior
    to the performance of an abortion.

    We applaud the work of pregnancy care centers in reducing abortions. We support public
    policies that encourage adoption—by reducing costs and streamlining processes—as an
    alternative to abortion.

    In order to protect women’s health, we believe facilities in which abortions are performed should
    be required to meet the same medical operating standards as other outpatient surgery centers,
    including undergoing periodic health and safety inspections.

    We support enactment of the Illinois Born-Alive Infant Protection Act, which guarantees
    appropriate medical care for babies whose birth is incidental to abortion.”

    Yes, I realize Sager was not a pro-life Republican.

    The point is they are both pro-choice, but one was recently in a pro-life political party, so the endorsement is puzzling.

  4. **Is there any explanation why the pro-choice group backed a guy who was a Republican official until July 2016 (Sager was a precinct committeeman in Greenwood Township) instead of someone who is already in a leadership role in the Democratic Party (Janko is the 14th district State Central Committeeman)?**

    1 — PersonalPAC has LONG endorsed pro-choice Republican, despite the party platform.
    2 — literally no one considers Janko to be part of party leadership.

  5. Al, your first point was informative.

    I didn’t know that about this group.

    In regard to the second point, even though the crooked establishment types might not like Janko because he is the only person on the Democrat’s SCC who said he would not support Madigan, it doesn’t change the fact that he IS on the SCC and I don’t know how anyone could deny State Central Committeepeople are leaders of the party.

    I suppose the second point doesn’t matter much if the first is true though.
