Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker moved to enhance his national political profile, while in the process provoking further speculation about his future plans, by creating an organization to promote abortion and LGBTQ+ rights issues and fight “right wing extremists” on a state-by-state basis.
Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker moved Wednesday to enhance his national profile — and provoked further speculation about his future political plans — by creating an organization to promote abortion and LGBTQ+ rights issues and fight “right wing extremists” on a state-by-state basis.
Those initiatives follow electoral successes for abortion rights advocates in Ohio, Wisconsin and Kansas last year that Pritzker also backed personally. The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported Wednesday that a poll by Baldwin Wallace University showed the Ohio proposition to add abortion rights to that state’s constitution was backed by 58% of voters, while 34% were opposed. Pritzker has hailed Illinois as an “oasis” for women’s reproductive rights under his leadership.
