Pro-Life and voting for Rauner? Please read what your candidates wife says about her husbands social agenda: In an email to supporters, Diana Rauner writes: From: Diana Rauner Sent: Friday, October 31, 2014 4:04 PM Subject: Bruce Rauner is pro-choice! Hi friends, so sorry to flood your inbox, but you know how committed I am to reproductive rights; and I cant stand to sit by while Personal PAC unleashes yet another round of attacks against Bruce. Here are the facts: Bruce has been one of the largest supporters of the ACLU Reproductive Rights Project for over 20 years. He has been a major supporter of Planned Parenthood both locally and nationally for a similar time, such that Cecile Richards told her local staff in Illinois earlier this year, if I hear anything negative about Bruce Rauner my head will explode. Bruce has been unequivocal in his support for reproductive rights throughout a contentious Republican primary and publicly stated his support for reproductive rights in primary debates. He won the primary despite his pro-choice stance, in part by convincing pro-lifers to put aside their views on this issue in favor of economic ones. Bruce has been in conversation with Personal PAC for over two years. Theirs was the only questionnaire that he has completed in this race, and the only question he got wrong was on parental notification. Bruce supports it-- I dont, but 75-80% of the population does, including a majority of people who consider themselves pro-choice. Terry Cosgroves decision to attack Bruce is driven by politics, not the issues, and it sickens me because I believe that it is ultimately destructive to our cause. By attacking a pro-choice Republican candidate, he virtually assures we will never see another. Instead of promoting bipartisan support for choice-- a great victory!-- he has chosen to use innuendo and misinformation to smear Bruces views and record. What Terry neglects to mention is that he is a paid appointee of the Quinn administration with a salary and pension. I appreciate that you might not agree with Bruce on everything and might not like some of his decisions. But please dont fall victim to this kind of fear mongering, and please appreciate exactly where Bruce stands on this important issue. Please forward this email to your pro-choice friends! Fondly, Diana illinoisreview.typepad/illinoisreview/2014/10/diana-rauner-bruce-convinced-pro-lifers-to-put-aside-their-views-on-this-issue.html
