Illinois' Reproductive Health Act & the War on Women's Choice: History, Policy, and Practice

Join us for a panel discussion focused on the Reproductive Health Act passed in Illinois in 2019 which protects safe and legal abortions for women even if Roe v. Wade is overturned. Illinois is one of only six states to pass legislation maintaining access to legal abortion services while other states legislated restrictions. What is the history of this act and its implications for the future?

Co-sponsored by Chicago Women’s History Center and Chicago Public Library.
