Illinois collects data about who gets abortions. But it keeps race and ethnicity hidden. – WBEZ (Chicago)

A 2013 state rule forbid releasing even aggregate data, meaning a summary of information, about race and ethnicity as well as a batch of other metrics about patients who receive abortions. But that rule is tied to a law that no longer exists.

The state won’t release the figures because they will be abhorrent.
