Illinois is a haven of abortion access in the midwest and a national leader on reproductive rights. Under Governor J.B. Pritzker’s leadership, Illinois has enacted comprehensive abortion rights legislation, established interstate shield law protections, required full Medicaid coverage of reproductive care, prohibited fake clinics from using deception to interfere with patients’ ability to access reproductive care, and more.
The Reproductive Health Act (2019) prohibits the state from denying, restricting, interfering with, or discriminating against a person’s exercise of the fundamental right to make their own decisions regarding reproductive health, enshrining comprehensive reproductive rights in state law.

As Illinois remains a beacon for reproductive healthcare in a region increasingly plagued by inhumane restrictions, I'm proud to join my fellow Governors to help fulfill the promise I made when Roe v. Wade was overturned: we will not go backwards.
