Illinois is a haven state in the Midwest for abortion care because its residents have consistently voted for legislators who support freedom and bodily autonomy including an Attorney General and Governor who are unapologetically pro-choice. In fact, the majority ofAmericans, in poll after poll, say they believe that abortion should remain legal in all or most cases. (PEW, Gallup)
As the Chief Medical Officer at Planned Parenthood of Illinois and an abortion provider for over 20 years, I routinely hear about the devastating consequences of patients receiving false or incomplete information from crisis pregnancy centers as referenced in a May 8 opinion piece by state Rep. Bill Hauter (R-Morton).
