CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS
A Republican lawmaker who introduced a bill to outlaw abortion in Illinois has resigned from his GOP leadership position in the Illinois Senate after conversations with top Republicans.
In his leadership resignation letter, Anderson said he was saddened by Republican disagreement on the issue. “At this point, I am not willing to compromise or set aside what I believe to be true regarding the rights and protection of our unborn neighbors, even where some within our caucus may disagree or view the issue differently,” Anderson wrote.
