Salud reproductiva
Proteger el acceso a la atención de la salud reproductiva fue una de mis primeras entradas al activismo. He servido como acompañante de clínica y he trabajado con líderes a nivel local, estatal y federal para proteger la elección durante décadas. Patrociné la Ley de Salud Reproductiva y copatrociné activamente tanto del Proyecto de Ley 40 de la Cámara de Representantes como de la derogación de la Ley de Aviso de Aborto a los Padres. Este verano, me complació que el orador Welch me pidiera que dirigiera el grupo de trabajo encargado de elaborar una legislación que respondiera a los problemas planteados por nuestro estado, pacientes y proveedores a la luz de la caída de Roe v Wade con la publicación de la decisión de Dobbs. En esta sección, proporcionaremos antecedentes sobre cómo esperamos que esta decisión nos afecte aquí en Illinois y actualizaciones a medida que el grupo de trabajo se prepara para la sesión.
