https://www.foxnews.com/media/lori-lightfoot-chicago-oasis-for-abortionsDemocratic Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is vowing that her city will be an "oasis" for abortions if Roe v. Wade is overturned.
On Monday, Lightfoot announced a "Justice For All Pledge" dedicating $500,000 towards access to abortion care in her city including transportation and lodging for women coming in from out of state, declaring Chicago an "island of reproductive freedom" and a "safe haven" in the Midwest.
This comes one week after a Supreme Court draft opinion signaled the overturning of the decades-long precedent that legalized abortion on a federal level, which if reversed could prompt "trigger laws" in various states that would automatically ban abortion, including some of Illinois' closest neighbors.
"If you look around Chicago, we've got a number of states that have the so-called trigger laws that would ban abortion upon the reverse of Roe. So we've seen a substantial increase already," Lightfoot said. "And we're expecting, frankly, an explosion of new cases from women in Wisconsin, Missouri, potentially Michigan, Indiana. I think the list is long. And Chicago is going to be an oasis in the Midwest, and we've got to be ready."
