A pro-life Democrat running to represent Illinois' First Congressional District says Democrats must 'make room at the table' for those in the party who are pro-life.
Pastor Chris Butler criticizes the lack of action being done to solve the growing crime problem in Chicago, and other major US cities.Illinois' First Congressional District
Implementing certain ideas around his pro-life leanings, Butler said he believes in a"life-affirming value." "I just think it's very, very important that we do not offer abortion as a solution to things like poverty, housing, and equity," he added."These are issues I have learned over years as a community leader, over years as a pastor, these are things that force women into situations of even desiring an abortion. We have to protect the sacred life in the womb that I think most Americans know is a life, a human life, and is a valuable human life.
Butler, who is endorsed by the Susan B. Anthony List and the Illinois Fraternal Order of Police, said the issue surrounding abortion is"going to show up" in primary elections."Democrats like me, who are running in primary races and being open about the idea of protecting pre-born life are going to find that people in our communities really do understand this fact.
Discussing how he began his career and the interworking of his faith that led him to run for Congress, Butler explained that he grew up in the church he now pastors and has a history of working on several issues within the community.
