(The Center Square) – Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed new laws expanding abortion access on public college campuses while vowing to make Illinois a “safe haven” for out-of-state women seeking to terminate a pregnancy.
House Bill 3709 requires campus pharmacies to offer contraception and abortion pills, while House Bill 3637 strengthens Illinois’ shield law protecting providers from out-of-state prosecution. Pritzker compared the fight over abortion rights to the film, “The Avengers: End Game.”
