Planned Parenthood says this especially helps bring care to people of color, and people who live in rural and low-income areas.

The move comes after a leaked opinion draft from the US Supreme Court suggested Roe v. Wade would be overturned.

Governor JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot are vowing to defend women's rights and welcome anyone to the city or state to have an abortion.
