Froehlich's views are still Republican

State Rep. 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 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.

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.
