IL State Representative 56th District Paul Froehlich perfect “Fully Pro-Life” rating

Written by: Trudy Zaja on Jan 26, 2008 2:29 PM EST

State Representative Paul Froehlich has spent the last five years in the Illinois House as a right-wing Republican.

Froehlich is an anti-abortion leader which has earned him the highest praise and endorsement of every right-wing organization in Illinois.  As it should.  After all, Froehlich believes that abortion should be illegal in Illinois and across the country, EVEN for victims of rape and incest.  Froehlich wants abortion to be a criminal act in Illinois. Froehlich supports amending both the U.S. and Illinois Constitutions to outlaw all abortions.  And should a woman want to prevent getting pregnant, Froehlich opposes women obtaining the “morning after pill” or Plan B over the counter.  Paul Froehlich believes that your pharmacist has every right to refuse to fill your prescriptions for birth control if that pharmacist has a “moral objection” to birth control.  Imagine you are a woman in rural southern Illinois and the only pharmacist in town lectures you on the immorality of birth control while refusing to fill your prescription.  You may have to drive 40-50 miles to next pharmacist, who may also have a religious objection to birth control.  Welcome to the world Paul Froehlich would like to legislate for you. 

Paul Froehlich opposes stem cell research to find cures for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, cancer and diabetes. 

Paul Froehlich supports the totally discredited right-wing “abstinence only” sexuality education in our schools. The misinformation these “abstinence only” programs promote endangers our children’s health.  No matter, because Paul Froehlich continues to press the right-wing agenda in Springfield.

A few months ago, Paul Froehlich decided to run for re-election---but as a Democrat.  It is now up to good Democrats and Independents to say “NO” to Paul Froehlich in the Democratic Primary on February 5th.  Anyone can vote in any primary election on February 5th.  By doing so, you will make sure that the Illinois General Assembly will be without one anti-abortion leader. And that would be a great thing for the women and families of Illinois.

On January 10, 2008, the Pioneer Press, in strongly opposing Froehlich’s re-election, stated, “The only one who truly stands to benefit from another term in office is Paul Froehlich.”  This editorial could have mentioned all of Froehlich’s right-wing friends who will benefit as well.  To see the anti-abortion endorsements of Froehlich for his perfect “Fully Pro-Life” rating, go to www.icl-life.com. Please note that Paul Froehlich, Mike Huckabee and Alan Keyes have the same perfect “Fully Pro-Life” right-wing ratings.  

Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

P.S. The U.S. Supreme Court is very close to overturning Roe v. Wade and returning the legality of abortion to state legislatures.  The very last thing we need is right-wing politicians like Paul Froehlich in the Illinois House at a time like this.  

Remember: It's Pro-choice or No Choice!
