TC Public Relations recently adapted a press release of the March for Life Chicago’s, originally entitled “March for Life Chicago Responds to Governor Pritzker’s Signing of the Repeal of Parental Notification” and sent it out to press under the title “Illinois Governor’s Radical Support of Abortion Prompts Pro-Life Democrat to March for Life in Chicago”. This adaptation, which was changed to focus on Pastor Chris Butler, was neither seen nor approved by the March for Life Chicago or Pastor Butler’s team.
The original approved release can be found here: https://marchforlifechicago.org/press-coverage at the top of the page. This release is the official statement of the March for Life Chicago and does not include Pastor Chris Butler.
TC Public Relations regrets this misrepresentation of the March for Life Chicago and Pastor Chris Butler.

Original statement as published on the March for Life Chicago site:
STATEMENT: March for Life Chicago Responds to Governor Pritzker’s Signing of the Repeal of Parental Notification
(December 17, 2021)
"This is a tragic day for parents, girls, and unborn babies in Illinois and the entire Midwest", says Kevin Grillot, Director of the March for Life Chicago.
“By signing the repeal of the Parental Notification of Abortion Act, Governor Pritzker acted in opposition to 72% of Illinois residents who wanted to keep this commonsense law in place. Illinois is now the only state in the Midwest that does not have Parental Notification in place, an open invitation to out-of-state minors to pursue abortions in Illinois. This repeal strips parents of their rights to be involved in the medical care of their daughters and leaves girls increasingly vulnerable to sexual traffickers.”
“We want the Governor and the abortion industry to know that we will not stop speaking up for vulnerable girls and their unborn babies. On January 8, 2022, thousands will gather in Federal Plaza and march down Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago, as a sign of our unwavering support for each and every human life.”
