Story No. 179: Rep. Jan Schakowsky from Illinois

The state of Illinois recently passed House Bill 40, legislation that will protect the legal right to abortion in Illinois and expands abortion access for low-income women—as long as Governor Bruce Rauner doesn’t veto the bill. This week, we’re taking action to tell Governor Rauner to stand with Illinois women and support their right to abortion care, regardless of their income or where they get insurance—and we’ll be sharing stories old and new from Illinoisans about why abortion access matter to them. Find out more about what you can do to support the fight for HB 40: Speak Out for Illinois Abortion Access.

U.S. Representative Jan Schakowsky (IL-9) shared why she supports reproductive health access, including abortion care, in a video for our annual Voices of Courage benefit.
