Illinois hospitals are seeing a surge of out-of-state patients who need abortion care at a hospital due to medical complications. But hospital-based abortions are more costly and harder to arrange.

    Indiana is going to send them over. There are exceptions in the Indiana law for rape and the life and health of the mother, but enough doctors will be too scared to sign off on it and too many women will be too traumatized to report their rape that women will have to go to Illinois.

      It doesn’t matter that we have exceptions in the law. All abortion clinics have shut down here. The law itself is also intentionally vague in order to scare away any doctor who attempts to follow it.
