ATTORNEY GENERAL RAOUL ISSUES STATEMENT ON COURT DECISION UPHOLDING PROVISION OF REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH ACT
October 01, 2025
Chicago -Attorney General Kwame Raoul today issued a statement highlighting an appellate court ruling in Illinois Baptist State Association v. Illinois Department of Insurance. The court affirmed a previous circuit court decision, which granted Attorney General Raoul's motion for summary judgment and preserved a provision of the Illinois Reproductive Health Act that requires Illinois health insurance products regulated by the Illinois Department of Insurance that cover pregnancy care to also cover abortion care.
"I am pleased with the court's decision. My office is committed to protecting access to comprehensive reproductive health care that includes abortion, and insurance coverage is a critical part of being able to obtain that care. My office will continue to fight for reproductive care on all fronts because abortion care is health care."
