Illinois and Nevada Pass Laws to Protect Abortion Rights in Wake of Statewide Bans

Illinois and Nevada Pass Laws to Protect Abortion Rights in Wake of Statewide Bans.

Illinois and Nevada took steps towards protecting reproductive rights and keeping abortion access safe. In Illinois, the Reproductive Health Act protects the “fundamental rights of individuals to make autonomous decisions about one’s own reproductive health,” declaring that abortion is a “fundamental right” and a “fertilized egg, embryo, or fetus does not have independent rights.” The bill passed in the state senate and is expected to be signed by Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker. The bill also repeals the Illinois Abortion Law of 1975, and requires insurance companies to cover the procedure.

In Nevada, a similar bill was just signed by Democratic governor Steve Sisolak. the Trust Nevada Women Act removes criminal penalties for doctors and decriminalizes abortion drugs and procedures. It also repeals a law requiring doctors to counsel pregnant patients on the “emotional implications” of abortion, as well as a requirement to verify the patients’ age and marital status. The bill was written by the Nevada Assembly, the first ever majority-female state legislature.

Sisolak said of the bill, “I have been disappointed by the recent uptick in efforts in other states to restrict women’s right to choose, and I am especially proud today to be a Nevadan, where we protect a woman’s right to make her own decisions about her own body.”

This move by Nevada and Illinois is a long awaited rebuke of the sweeping abortion ban bills that have passed across the Southern states. Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Ohio, and others have rammed through a series of draconian abortion bills, most of which do not allow exceptions for rape and incest. Missouri was about to see its last abortion clinic shut down before a judge granted a reprieve.
