Governor who sentenced thousands of babies to death given 14 years
Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich was just sentenced to 14 years in prison on federal corruption charges.
As governor Blagojevich sentenced thousands of babies to death, signing an executive order in 2005 to fund embryonic stem cell research in Illinois.
Blagojevich also filed an “emergency rule” in 2005 forcing Illinois pharmacies and pharmacists to dispense the morning-after pill even if violating their consciences.
Then there is the matter of the Illinois Finance Authority giving Planned Parenthood of Illinois a bond rating that allowed it to borrow money at a cheaper rate to build its Aurora abortion mill in 2007 while Blago was governor.
Good riddance.
As an aside, I thought it was pretty terrible that Blagojevich used his one of his daughters to try to get a lighter sentence, submitting a letter from 15-yr-old Amy in court yesterday that read in part, “I need my father. I need him there for my high school graduation…. I’ll need him when my heart gets broken.”
Blagojevich should have thought of his daughter before engaging in corruption. Now it is he who has broken her heart.

Blago should be up there on the stage with Newt and Donald Trump.
WHAT ABOUT HIS WIFE? She gets off scott free huh? He does 14 years “well deserved” and she walks away with the kids and all the household wealth? She is a bigger gangster than he could even hope to be.
Biggz..? I’d never heard anything about his wife. Is she “connected”?
Biggz, I believe they decided not to pursue the wife’s prosecution although she is on tape swearing like a sailor stating that people should pay up if they wanted favors from Blago. I think they knew he would be going away for a long time and that their daughters needed one parent at home.
Jill, I find it so ironic the biggest pro-death govenor of the state of Illinois is going to prison for a very long time. I remember when the signs went up in all of the Illinois pharmacies that they “HAD” to provide the “morning-after pill” no matter the conscience of the pharmacist. I will always remember the bond rating issue as well when the Aurora abortuary opened up. I believe the bloody hands of all who promoted the shedding of “innocent blood” (there is no blood more innocent than that of unborn babies) during the PP scam will be vindicated one day. I am stilll praying that all the secret dirty deals on the federal, state and local level will come to light one day and all who were involved will receive their due.
Be not deceived, God is not mocked. Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Blago, that dirt bag politician that he is, is not going to prison for 14 years due to his actions regarding reproductive causes. He’s going to prison for attempting to sell the Senate Seat vacated by President Obama, among other related federal charges. You could at least make the article/headline actually say as such, instead of implying he’s going to prison for charges related to the abortion debate. Poor journalism.
A friend of mine recently said, that the reason why Illinois has four governors sentenced to jail time, isn’t because Illinois has “more” corrupt politicians than other states, it’s because we’re better at catching them.
Does Hot Rod Blago wear a wig or not? Some people think yes, some think no….
So, Duck, how about that Gianna Jessen? She’s something else, ain’t she?
Oh Xalisae, chasing me across threads to spoonfeed me your thoughts again? Well I still haven’t looked into it, so you’ll just have to sit tight and be patient. Continued attempts to counter-brainwash me (your terms about my professors, not mine) will just be ignored.
