On the 52nd Anniversary of Roe v Wade, Planned Parenthood of Illinois announced that they made the decision to close four health centers; Ottawa, Decatur, and Bloomington in Central Illinois and Englewood in Chicago. None of these health centers provide procedural abortion care, but all 4 health centers did provide medication abortion. These health centers will stop taking appointments in March 2025. “At the Chicago Abortion Fund (CAF), we recognize the immense responsibility Illinois providers, abortion fund staff, and advocates have to support the thousands of people who rely on us for abortion care. We are aware of the financial strain that this reality has caused since the Dobbs decision, particularly as the state fielding the highest increase of abortions nationwide. As Illinois’ statewide abortion fund, we partner with Planned Parenthood of Illinois and independent clinics across the region, decision-makers across all levels of government, and advocates to connect abortion seekers coming to Illinois to the care they want, need and deserve. This work will continue,” said Megan Jeyifo, Executive Director of the Chicago Abortion Fund (CAF). The CAF Helpline is ready to support people who need help accessing abortion care in Illinois and the greater Midwest. Visit the CAF Helpline to complete an intake and receive support. CAF funds abortion care at independent and Planned Parenthood clinics, Telehealth clinics, and hospitals.
