Illinois lawmakers on Tuesday approved a measure protecting access to abortion in Illinois from out-of-state meddling, making the state the latest to pursue such protections since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last June. The bill, which Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s is expected to sign, would shield reproductive and gender-affirming health care patients and providers from legal action originating across state lines and widen access to reproductive care.
