State Representative Dave Severin of Benton participated in a pro-life rally at the Capitol in Springfield. The event, held on Tuesday, attracted thousands of Illinois residents advocating for the protection of life. Rep. Severin, known for sponsoring numerous pro-life bills, expressed concern over what he sees as Illinois' shift to more liberal abortion policies.

"We need to restore the pro-life agenda to protect the sanctity of human life in Illinois. I have backed that statement up with my record of sponsoring pro-life bills and amassing a 100% pro-life voting record," Severin stated. He criticized current state policies by saying, "The state of Illinois allows for abortion on demand, at any time of pregnancy, and makes taxpayers pay for these procedures. I think that is wrong. I stand for life. I always have, and I always will." He also thanked those who attended the rally: "I want to thank the thousands of people who came to Springfield today to rally in support of the pro-life agenda."
