Still No Special Session Yet for Abortion Laws

A special session isn’t any closer to being called at the statehouse to update Illinois abortion laws. Following the Supreme Court’s Decision on Roe vs Wade, Democrat Governor JB Pritzker said he would push for the session to further protect woman’s reproductive rights. But that hasn’t happened yet and Pritzker says lawmakers are still working to craft the right legislation.

 

 

Leaders with Planned Parenthood say demand for abortions has increased and the wait times for appointments has more than doubled after many Midwestern states rolled back abortion rights this summer.
