"Illinois is surrounded by very conservative states, so protecting access in Illinois means you're protecting access not just in Illinois but for people from those states who may need to travel," explained Elizabeth Nash, a state policy analyst at the Guttmacher Institute, a research organization that studies reproductive health rights.
