CHICAGO — With the U.S. Supreme Court poised to overturn Roe v. Wade, Planned Parenthood of Illinois said Monday it has begun offering abortion pills by mail for state residents who qualify.
The agency said the relatively new means of abortion access will break down “unnecessary barriers to health care” and also expand access to underserved parts of the state.
“Now more than ever it’s crucial that our patients can access the care they need, when and where they need it,” Dr. Amy Whitaker, chief medical officer for the agency, said in a news release.
