Illinois borders three states with abortion bans, and two with gestational limits. Since the Supreme Court overturned a federal right to an abortion, providers, lawmakers and advocates have been working to ensure that Illinoisans, and people traveling to the state, can access the medical procedure. Reset learns about the current state of access to abortions in Illinois, legal challenges to reproductive rights, and what’s ahead. Our panel includes: Jennifer Welch, President and CEO, Planned Parenthood Illinois; Megan Jeyifo, executive director of the Chicago Abortion Fund; and Steven Schwinn, professor at the University of Illinois Chicago School of Law.
