Gov. Pritzker Statement on the Full Passage of HB 370

SPRINGFIELD — Governor JB Pritzker issued the following statement following the full passage House Bill 370, which repeals the Parental Notification of Abortion law.

"At a time when reproductive rights are under attack across the country, Illinois is protecting those critical reproductive rights. This repeal was essential, because it was the most vulnerable pregnant minors who were being hurt most by this law: victims of rape, incest and physical abuse," said Governor JB Pritzker. "I thank Representative Anna Moeller, Senator Elgie Sims and the countless lawmakers and advocates who have fiercely fought to repeal this harmful law and keep vulnerable young people safe. I'll be proud to sign this legislation. I will not waiver in the battle to protect reproductive rights."
