Good news from Wisconsin! After nearly a month-long pause, abortion care has resumed at all 3 Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin clinics. ๐๐
This brings the total number of open clinics from 2 to 5. CAF will keep supporting Wisconsinites who need help covering the cost or travel to get care.

White and green text on a navy blue background says, โIn 2024, about 37,000 people traveled to Illinois for an abortion, many from the South & Midwest.โ Below, a map of the US with orange arrows shows travel into Illinois from various states.
#Illinois remains a key access point for abortion patients from the South & Midwest.
Meeting this need for care has been possible due to efforts by IL's state government, providers & orgs like @chiabortionfund.bsky.social to ensure support for out-of-state patients. https://gu.tt/4dnYPED
And the celebration doesnโt stop there ๐ถ
