John,
Abortions are now restricted or banned in every state touching Illinois — including Indiana, which was the first state to almost completely ban abortions following SCOTUS' decision to overturn Roe.
When the Dobbs decision was leaked, I promised that Chicago would be an oasis for abortion rights.
That wasn't just talk. Since then, I've authorized an additional $500,000 to cover the cost of travel, lodging, and abortion access. I've also signed an Executive Order that prohibits all city agencies from investigating any cases of out-of-staters seeking abortions in Illinois.
We're just getting started. Under my leadership, Chicago will remain a safe haven for reproductive freedom for ALL.
In solidarity,
— Mayor Lori E Lightfoot
Following her historic election in 2019, Mayor Lightfoot has undertaken an ambitious agenda of expanding opportunity and inclusive economic growth across Chicago’s neighborhoods and communities.
