Abortion is not a dirty word. When we say abortion, we break down the stigma surrounding abortion care and make it easier for people to tell their stories. So SAY ABORTION!

IL > Everyone. Thank you to @GovPritzker for your advocacy in passing the Reproductive Health Records Privacy Act and for commemorating the anniversary of the Dobbs decision with CAF and our partners this week. We're so lucky to have leaders in Illinois who fight to protect abortion access 💪❤️

Don't mind us, we're just reminiscing 🥹 It's been two weeks since we celebrated the end of Fund-A-Thon 2026, and we're still blown away by the community support and joy that smashed our $250K goal and mobilized over 2,500 people to directly support abortion access.

Researchers at CAF and UChicago have published a study in JAMA Network that shows one of the many additional burdens put on abortion seekers since the fall of Roe in 2022. CAF callers are traveling more than 3️⃣x further to access care as they were 4 years ago. Read more here: bit.ly/439J4x9

This #BlackMaternalHealth Week, we are sharing this reminder: abortion care is maternal healthcare! 🗣️ People in states with abortion bans are 2x more likely to die during pregnancy, and Black women are 3x more likely than their white counterparts. Comprehensive birth care includes abortion care! ❤️‍🔥

#Illinois remains a key access point for abortion patients from the South & Midwest. Meeting this need for care has been possible due to efforts by IL's state government, providers & orgs like @chiabortionfund.bsky.social to ensure support for out-of-state patients. gu.tt/4dnYPED
White and green text on a navy blue background says, “In 2024, about 37,000 people traveled to Illinois for an abortion, many from the South & Midwest.” Below, a map of the US with orange arrows shows travel into Illinois from various states.
