Vernon Township Republicans recently attended the Hike For Life to advocate for anti-abortion stances. 

“On Saturday May 13th Vernon Township Republicans was at the Hike For Life to support Informed Choices - an organization with two pregnancy centers that empowers women and men facing pregnancy decisions,” Vernon Township Republicans posted on Facebook. “Yes, Illinois, like many states, is pro-choice. But it is important that both women and men make INFORMED choices. This organization also offers abortion recovery and support - a much needed service because far too many discover that making such a choice leaves profound and lasting trauma. We were happy to donate a basket for the Hike For Life raffle.”

Lake County’s Hike For Life was held on May 13 at Heron Creek Forest Preserve in Lake Zurich. Hike for Life was billed as a family-friendly morning event that offered participants the opportunity to support life. Funds raised by participants will be utilized for the operation of two Choices Pregnancy Centers. According to the event listing, the support obtained from the project "can provide free services to assist those who are faced with the possibility of pregnancy, planned or unplanned.” 

According to its Facebook page, The Vernon Township Republican Organization "consist(s) of elected and appointed Republican Precinct Committeemen and Committeewomen, as well as volunteers and activists working together as a team to organize, communicate, educate, train, raise money, recruit, support candidates, and get out the vote to WIN elections. We believe in liberty, equality of opportunity, limited government, and that our rights come from God, not government. We believe in upholding the U.S. Constitution and in the equal application of the rule of law.”
