Gov. JB Pritzker was taking action Thursday to counter what he calls misinformation and deceptive practices used to discourage women from seeking abortions.

Anti-abortion groups are already challenging the law in court.

"We can't force anyone to do anything, but we're here in love and compassion, to offer them hope and help," said Mary Ann Vincent, an anti-abortion volunteer. "This is reproductive coercion that traumatizes people who are seeking or even considering an abortion," said Alicia Hurtado, with the Chicago Abortion Fund.

Anti-abortion groups have already filed a 55-page federal lawsuit requesting a temporary restraining order and permanent injunction, claiming the law violates people's right to free speech.
