Column: Abortion in Illinois: what does the law permit? – Champaign News-Gazette*

Jim Dey: "The Guttmacher Institute, a research and policy organization dedicated to improving reproductive health and rights, describes Illinois law as 'protective' of a woman’s right to have an abortion. An anti-abortion organization — the Thomas More Society — contends that Illinois law is so protective that 'abortion is legal throughout pregnancy.' Both descriptions are accurate, as demonstrated by the language in the Reproductive Health Act that Pritzker signed in 2019 and zealously defends."
