Illinois abortion laws guarantee the right, so the state is bracing for thousands of women from Indiana and Wisconsin after to states enact bans.
"Planned Parenthood of Illinois has been working for years to prepare for the additional anticipated desire for 20,000 to 30,000 patients who are now forced to flee their home states to get care here in Illinois," said Jennifer Welch, Planned Parenthood Illinois Action.
"There's certainly restrictions in some states that will probably go into effect pretty quickly," said Lee Hasselbacher, University of Chicago research assistant professor. "We will continue to be an oasis, a beacon in the surrounding area and across our country to make sure that people who need access to reproductive health care can get it in our city and our state and we're going to provide even additional resources to make sure that that happened," said Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot.
