Doctors in Illinois will no longer need to notify the parents of an underage girl 48 hours before her scheduled abortion, after Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed a repeal of the state’s law Friday.
Pritzker, a Democrat, claimed the previous law punished the most vulnerable girls, such as those who were “victims of rape and physical abuse in unsafe homes,” according to reports.
“With reproductive rights under attack across the nation, Illinois is once again establishing itself as a leader in ensuring access to health care services,” Pritzker said, FOX 32 of Chicago reported.
