Kwame RaoulAfter the Danville City Council voted to approve an ordinance that would ban abortion access in the city, Attorney General Kwame Raoul released this statement that reads, in part, "Let me be clear: all residents of Illinois continue to enjoy the fundamental rights guaranteed to them under state law, and my office will continue to ensure that all localities in the state understand that access to reproductive health care is a fundamental right in Illinois."
