We caught up with the heads of @PersonalPAC
and @ChiAbortionFund about abortion being such a focus at this week’s DNC in Chicago, the current state of reproductive healthcare in Illinois and the impact of this November's election.

ICYMI: We are loud and proud abortion advocates. Along with our friends at @ShoutYrAbortion, we took our abortion justice message to the streets of Chicago during the @DemConvention!
We demand abortion access, without barriers, for anyone who needs it.
“Illinois is a great example that if you are purposeful and put things in place to protect patients and protect access, you can be a safe place for patients to come to. But this is not a long-term solution. This is a Band-Aid on a much bigger issue.” https://t.co/HeUVPS5EH8
Here we come, Chicago! 🚐 Our mobile health clinic will be in the West Loop with @ChiAbortionFund & @TheWienerCircle Aug 19-20, providing FREE vasectomies & medication abortion. EC will also be available for free without an appointment.
Reserve your spot: https://t.co/AVCDTg2FAj
For 50 years we've provided compassionate, judgment-free abortion care for anyone who needs us. We're honored to do this work and are proud to help reduce abortion stigma by having these amazing prints by @ShoutYrAbortion on our clinic walls. #shoutyourabortion
The impact of abortion bans reverberates far beyond the state where they are enacted, as the @SunTimes reported ➡️ the @ChiAbortionFund received over 60 requests for help from Iowans in the first three weeks of July — before the state ban took effect. https://t.co/tD54xhobo4
We're here today with a single, straightforward message: Illinois will always be a place where women have the freedom to make their own medical decisions.
And that's why I'm proud as Governor to sign legislation that further protects and expands reproductive rights in our state.
The bills @GovPritzker signed into law today are critically needed to ensure we can continue to do our jobs and provide abortion care to those we serve without fear.
We are grateful to the Governor and our legislators for passing these common-sense protections.
We’ve created a strong infrastructure of clinics, elected officials, abortion funds, and advocates in Illinois. We’re built to handle this moment and are here for anyone who needs us 💚 https://t.co/PwvCqIvJ9E
We’re proud to do this work with so many incredible partners like @fpachicago & @ChiAbortionFund. Illinois clinics and abortion funds are here to help!
My latest for @RewireNewsGroup is a deep dive into the state of abortion access across the Midwest.
Funders and providers told me they have the capacity to help traveling abortion seekers—but they're worried the money is running out. https://t.co/fc0vQoHXoa
👋 from Shay, Nett, and Estee - some of our friendly clinic staff in Granite City, IL. If you need us, we’re here at https://t.co/eEOVfAmZcL or find us on @Abortion_Finder
We care for patients from dozen of states who have been forced to leave their home for abortion care. Iowans, and anyone else, we’re sorry you can’t access care in your own communities - we’re here in southern Illinois if you need us 👉 https://t.co/VqCZJuzf3s
BREAKING: The Iowa Supreme Court will allow a law banning abortions as soon as six weeks into a pregnancy to take effect, reversing a temporary injunction on the 2023 law. https://t.co/35Exe5JDXG
Since Dobbs, how has IL's reproductive care changed?
"We’re seeing more patients pushed further into pregnancy, 20 weeks and more, because of increased delays caused by barriers to care." – Chelsea Souder, Co-Owner of @HopeClinicIL in Granite City
