Democrat Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker announced this week that his state is spending more than $23 million on programs for out-of-state abortion seekers.
“While our neighboring states revert to forcing back-alley abortions, Illinois will remain a safe haven for women,” Pritzker claimed Monday at an event in Chicago announcing the investments. “And I will continue to do everything in my power to ensure widespread equitable access to reproductive rights.”
Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. J.B. Pritzker raise their hands in a show of unity after speaking to Democratic supporters during a rally at the University of Illinois at Chicago on Sept. 16, 2022. “That money comes from the non-transportation portion of Illinois’ $45 billion infrastructure program, Rebuild Illinois. It can be spent on improvements, repairs, new construction, security upgrades and equipment, including vehicles that can be turned into mobile care units,” the report states.
