CHICAGO – Today marks the two-year anniversary of Dobbs v. Jackson, which ended the constitutional right to abortion access for all Americans. As Mayor of Chicago, I hold close the historical contributions of our city, which serves as the birthplace of the reproductive justice movement.  

My administration’s unwavering commitment is demonstrated in our support for policies that ensure access to affordable and quality healthcare services, including reproductive health services and abortion care. Together with members from the Advisory Council on Women, including Planned Parenthood of Illinois, Personal PAC, and the Chicago Abortion Fund, we will continue to fiercely defend and strengthen policies protecting abortion care and the right to choose.  

We must also continue to advocate for policies that protect reproductive rights, support comprehensive sex education, and ensure affordable and accessible healthcare for all. Together, we can resist attempts to roll back the progress we have made, ensuring Chicago remains a sanctuary for reproductive justice and care.
