As an Illinoisan, love this guy. Effective in office and I can personally say he’s also just an extremely kind, empathetic person.

I didn’t know this man until now, Texas needs a human rights Governor like this👍🏼‼️

I had an ectopic pregnancy in the 70’s. My doctor didn’t have to get “permission” to treat me and it’s a good thing he didn’t because I had lost so much blood that he said I would have died in another hour if I had not come to the hospital when I did. Had I died, my firstborn would’ve grown up without his mom and my husband would have lost his wife. Politicians should keep their personal beliefs to themselves and stop practicing medicine without a license! 🤬

It’s our body people. U do as you see fit and the others do as they see fit. TY. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

As someone from Chicago Illinois, I'm proud to see this. 💙

This is a real man with love for real women who want agency over our own bodies. A real man is not threatened by a woman in a power position

[thomasherndon-iogl]

Finally a voice if reason! They will try to crucify him for saying truth!

[ShimmerBodyCream]

I'm so glad Gov Pritzker keeps women's healthcare safe in our state.

[kaistockman]

I love my governor! He is so good! I love living in Illinois!

[Bookhart]

Wow! This guy’s spot in. Well articulated!

[cynthialangley]

I agree. This is all about shaming women. Thank You!

[WalkerHoundGal]

Keep talking, Gov. Pritzker. Women are listening and we appreciate your respect and compassion. Thank you.💙💙 💙

I'm British and am so impressed at seeing this. Well done to this man.

Can we also NOT put ALL contraceptives, including condoms, as well as menstrual, & reproductive enhancing products BEHIND A PAYWALL???

If we’re going beyond Roe V Wade to “full freedom”here, then let’s go full freedom on ~all~ things reproductive.

This is one of the reasons I moved from Indiana to Illinois I want my wife and daughter to have all medical options available to in order for them to make the decisions they need to for their health

[Miss.Tango.]

I'm finally so happy that we in Illinois finally have a governor who we can be proud of and is not corrupted. ✨❤️✨🎉🌃

[ilovethesNW]

I LIKE this guy!!! Who is he??? He makes so much sense!!! And he's right!

[mattmelton]

Right to bodily autonomy. Get it done.
