SPRINGFIELD – Senator Don Harmon (D-Oak Park) released the following statement today after Gov. Bruce Rauner signed House Bill 40, a bill protecting a woman’s right to choose in Illinois:

“Today is a victory for women’s reproductive rights, but beyond that, it is a victory for the Illinoisans who worked so hard to make it a reality. For months, constituents and advocates have written, called and marched to demand that the governor live up to his responsibility to the women of our state. Their activism has ensured that women will continue to have access to safe, affordable reproductive healthcare.”
