Illinois smart on abortion, dumb on dope
Desperate women arrive daily in blue Illinois to get a basic reproductive right denied in the regressive red states they call home; a safe, convenient abortion.
What’s good for these beleaguered ladies is also good for Illinois’ economy: money spent on transportation, lodging, food, and most importantly, quality medical care.
I’m proud my state provides the opportunity for these abortion seekers to stay out of the back alley and put down the knitting needle.
Too bad Gov. Rauner is likely to veto HB 40 which would have expanded state paid abortion services to state employees and low income Medicaid recipients; and keep abortion legal in Lincoln’s land should the Supreme Court overturn Roe v. Wade.
Though smart on abortion, Illinois is dumb on dope, telling its million adult recreational pot smokers to keep spending their recreational income in the eight states where it’s legal, or worse, the un-taxed underground economy
Are Illinois leaders waiting until the other 39 states join in the tax bonanza before finally relenting ... or are will they hold out forever?
While the pot question remains unanswered, Gov. Rauner is poised to veto HB 40, which would have expanded state paid abortion services to state employees and low income Medicaid recipients; and keep abortion legal in Lincoln’s land should the Supreme Coverturn Roe v. Wade.
Alas, Illinois may choose to stay dumb on dope ... and go dumb on abortion.
