Illinois Remains Critical For Out-Of-State Patients To Access Abortion Services

from In the Loop with Sasha-Ann Simons

Since Roe v. Wade was overturned, Illinois has become a “haven” of sorts for people in states with abortion bans. In 2024, roughly 35,000 patients travelled to Illinois for abortion care. Reset discusses how these bans increase wait times that can leave people in dangerous positions with executive director of the Chicago Abortion Fund Megan Jeyifo, obstetrician gynecologist at UI Health Dr. Erica Hinz and the risks facing out of state patients with Chicago Sun-Times reporter Mitchell Armentrout.
