Illinois Likely to be “Abortion Haven” for the Midwest
In the wake of last week’s U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling overturning Roe v. Wade, returning the issue of abortion back to individual states, Illinois’ role as a haven of abortion care in the Midwest was put in the spotlight. Officials believe the state will likely draw more abortion patients from across the country, especially around the Midwest as Illinois’ neighbors outlaw the procedure. Planned Parenthood of Illinois anticipates an additional 20,000 to 30,000 patients will be crossing state lines for abortion care here each year.
