Illinois Democrats say abortion-access protections are a promise: 'You're safe here'

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:45:35 GMT

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Access to abortion is essentially locked down in Illinois. But Democrats are looking for ways to further protect the practice and its availability, including to outsiders who potentially face home-state penalties for seeking treatment here. Legislation approved by both houses of the General Assembly include requiring Illinois insurers to cover abortion-inducing drugs, penalizing crisis pregnancy centers if they distribute inaccurate information and requiring colleges to offer reduced-price emergency contraception on campus. Reaching beyond the borders is a high-tech House-approved measure that would require that interstate agreements over license-plate reading technology include a promise they not be used to track people traveling to Illinois for an abortion. It has its sights set on statutes such as the recent “abortion-trafficking” law signed in Idaho. Lawmakers say they are not circling the wagons amid an increasingly hostile landscape since the U.S. Supr...

After Cherokee Trail’s 1600-meter relay team came within four-tenths of the school record in the Stutler Twilight on April 29, the quartet — Kaelan Kombo, Kahari Wilbon, Beck Gutjahr and Peyton Sommers — petitioned coach Chris Faust for one more shot at the mark in the Centennial League championships last weekend.It would be the final chance for that particular foursome to run it, seeing as Sommers, the Cougars’ star, will be placed on a different relay at the state meet.So Faust agreed to the request — and upped the ante.“I told them, ‘Forget the school record guys.

But they might’ve even shocked themselves.”Cherokee Trail turned in a state record 3 minutes, 13.02 seconds, pushing the Cougars to the Centennial League championship. That blazing mark roasted the previous record — Rangeview’s time o...
