Abortion funds are running out of money - Illinois’ abortion access could be in jeopardy

For the first time in five years, the Chicago Abortion Fund is going to have to limit how much financial aid it provides to people seeking abortions in Illinois. This comes as people from 32 states seek abortion care in Illinois and national funding is drying up, putting more strain on local funding to cover the costs. Reset learns why equitable access to abortions is in jeopardy and how state funding could help.
