news that doesn't suck! Amidst all the chaos and heartbreak, there's still some wins to be celebrated!

Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed House Bill 3709, which requires Illinois colleges and universities to provide students access to contraception and abortion medications at campus pharmacies starting this school year. This win deserves an extra shout because the bill was an initiative from University of Illinois students!

Gov. Pritzker also signed other bills this past week that will improve access to abortion medications and protect all Illinois healthcare workers from prosecution in other states for providing abortion care in the state.
