June 26, 2022 - IMPACT Releases Open Letter Urging Safe Harbor Protections for Patients and Abortion Providers
As health care professionals, we are deeply disturbed by the ruling of the Supreme Court majority to overturn Roe v. Wade, rendering abortion inaccessible to millions of people, while also widening existing healthcare disparities across our nation. We know abortion is an essential component of reproductive healthcare, and is a fundamental issue of bodily autonomy. However, it is essential that Illinois goes a step further and protects its citizens’ rights.
