"We've been warned this day would come," said House Speaker Emanuel "Chris" Welch. "That's why we've worked hard in Illinois to ensure Roe v. Wade is codified into law and reproductive health care will never be in jeopardy. In Illinois, we will never go back."
Illinois signed the Reproductive Health Care Act into law in 2019, establishing a fundamental right to reproductive healthcare, including abortion and maternity care, into Illinois state law. The law ensures regulations reflect current medical standards and requires private health insurance plans in Illinois to cover abortion like they do other pregnancy-related care. also repealed the Parental Notification Act in 2021 because fuck havin a incest rape baby
• Oregon led the nation by passing the most comprehensive reproductive health legislation at the time. Governor Brown signed Oregon’s
Reproductive Health Equity Act into law in 2017 — a first of its kind bill that expanded access to reproductive health services for all Oregonians and codified the right to an abortion into state law. Adding to that work, Oregon invested $15 million for community-based organizations to expand access to abortion across the state and provide immediate support to patients, health care providers, and community advocates, with a focus on rural communities, communities of color, and low-income communities to overcome barriers to access.
• Governor Newsom has proposed a $125 million
Reproductive Health Package to expand access for women and help prepare for the influx of women seeking reproductive health care from other states. The California Legislature has introduced a
constitutional amendment to enshrine the right to abortion in the state constitution, Governor Newsom recently signed legislation
eliminating copays for abortion care services and has signed into law a
legislative package to further strengthen access and protect patients and providers. Additional proposals are being considered with the Legislature.
• In 2018 Governor Inslee signed the Reproductive Parity Act that requires all health plans that include maternity care services to also cover abortion and contraception. In 2021 he signed the Protecting Pregnancy Act that allows doctors who practice in Catholic-run hospitals to bypass ethical-religious directives and provide medically necessary abortion when a woman’s life is in danger. Earlier this year Inslee signed the
Affirm Washington Abortion Access Act that better ensures the ability of Washington abortion care providers to serve any person who comes in Washington state seeking an abortion. Washington law also protects patients and clinic personnel from harassment outside of clinics. Further, when federal changes were made to the Title X program to not allow family planning clinics to reference abortion as an option, Washington state stepped up to fund the Title X clinics instead of having to comply. While the federal funding has been restored, the state will continue to provide needed funding to support access to abortion.

Vermont voters in November will decide whether to enshrine abortion rights into that state’s constitution. Vermont’s Proposal 5, which
has been working its way through that state’s legislative process since 2019, would ensure every resident “is afforded personal reproductive liberty” and the ability to exercise “personal autonomy.”
