Rep. Adam Niemerg: House doubles down on far-left agenda

Dieterich, IL – The Illinois House this week moved the state even further to the left with the passage of a series of pro-abortion, gun control, immigration, and trans agenda measures, according to State Rep. Adam Niemerg (R-Dietrich).

One bill the House approved (SB 1909) gives the Illinois Attorney General unchecked power to investigate and harass crisis pregnancy centers.

“Senate Bill 1909 is intentionally vague and is a response to a nonexistent problem,” Niemerg said. “There was a FOIA request made to the Attorney General’s office for these supposed complaints, and the results of that request showed there was a grand total of ZERO complaints against crisis pregnancy centers for violations of the state’s deceptive business practices act. They say they want choice, but they are passing legislation aimed at preventing any other choice than abortion.”

Another measure approved prevents Illinois law enforcement from providing law enforcement agencies in other states with information gathered from automatic license plate readers to help prosecute people seeking an abortion in Illinois and to use that data to detain people based on immigration status.

“Essentially sex traffickers can transport young women to Illinois to get abortions and law enforcement here can’t do anything about it because they are going to an abortion clinic,” Niemerg said. “We are also ignoring immigration laws with this legislation and ultimately putting people’s lives at risk all for the sake of advancing the far left’s radical agenda.”

Finally, the House also passed legislation (HB 218) paving the way to make gun manufacturers liable for the illegal use of firearms and another measure (SB 1344) requiring insurance companies to cover abortifacients, hormone therapies and PrEP medication for HIV treatment.

“On the way hand, the far-left refuses to hold criminals responsible for their actions by instead focusing on gun manufacturers and on the other hand they want everyone else in society not only to embrace their radical agenda but to also pay for it as well,” Niemerg said. “We are living Georg Orwell’s nightmare scenario every day in Illinois thanks to the extremists running our state.”

  1. Secession. They pushed too far. And now the spring springs back on the little hat wearers.
    And they cry, cry, cry about their eternal victimhood.

    Purim, 2025. The mask comes off.
