A federal judge granted a preliminary injunction on Thursday night halting the enforcement of Illinois's new law targeting crisis pregnancy centers, sparking further tension in one of the few states in the Midwest where abortion faces few restrictions.
"This is a huge win for women and their families seeking assistance for an unplanned pregnancy, many of whom have nowhere else to go for help," said the plaintiff in the case, Thomas Glessner, president of the National Institute of Family Life Advocates.
Sen. Tammy Duckworth did not vote for Johnston because of his"extreme bias against women's rights." Illinois's other senator, Dick Durbin, did vote to confirm Johnston. Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed into law last week a measure clarifying how state consumer protection laws applied to crisis pregnancy centers.
Planned Parenthood Illinois Action praised the passage of the law last week, calling the bill"a crucial step towards safeguarding bodily autonomy and reproductive health care."
