This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

Creates the Freedom of Choice Act and amends the Illinois Abortion Law of 1975. Establishes a State policy recognizing a woman's reproductive rights. Prohibits State agencies and units of local government (including home rule units) from restricting a woman's right to terminate a pregnancy before fetal viability or at any time if medically necessary. Repeals a Section declaring that the General Assembly would prohibit all abortions unless necessary for the preservation of a woman's life if Roe v. Wade is overruled or significantly modified. Effective immediately.
