IL Governor Quinn Defends Himself Against Catholic Criticism

Via The Chicago Tribune:

"I'm going to the event to present an award to a woman who is a victim of rape, and who is a very strong advocate of helping rape victims all over our state and country, so I really think that's a proper Christian thing to do, to honor someone who's doing something that helps the community at large," Quinn said today after a news conference to announce state funding to help rebuild CTA red line tracks.
