Anti-abortion pregnancy centers can be penalized by the Illinois attorney general if they use deceptive practices or misinformation to interfere with patients seeking abortion care under a measure Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed into law Thursday.

Abortion rights activists rally outside of a building at 8 S. Michigan Ave. in downtown Chicago that houses an anti-abortion “crisis pregnancy center” as the group tries to bring attention to “fake clinics” on July 15, 2023.

Illinois legislators passed the measure this spring as part of efforts to shore up abortion rights in Illinois following the U.S. Supreme Court decision last year overturning Roe v. Wade which for half a century granted abortion access nationwide with limited exceptions. A sign at the entrance to the Waterleaf Women's Center on East New York Street in Aurora. This center is directly across the street from a Planned Parenthood.
