SPRINGFIELD, IL… State Representative Regan Deering (R-Decatur) released the following statement following the March for Life in Springfield, which drew thousands of pro-life Illinoisans to the State Capitol to show support for life.
“For me, and thousands like me, pro-life is not a political ideology. My heart, mind, soul, and personal story shape my pro-life values,” said Rep. Deering. “I was adopted when I was three days old. I’ve never met my birth mom, but throughout her pregnancy she must have received the support, resources, and knowledge necessary to choose life. She truly knew all her choices, not just the one promoted by Planned Parenthood and the mainstream media.”
“I think every day of the courage that must have taken. And I shudder to think what would have happened if extremists had limited her access to the full suite of healthcare options like they are trying to do in Illinois. I’m so proud to join thousands who showed up to March for Life today in Springfield. I’ll use my voice till my last breath to advocate for life,” concluded Deering.
