A measure aimed at keeping anti-abortion pregnancy centers from employing deceptive practices in an effort to dissuade women from seeking the procedure is teed up to become law in Illinois.
As of 2020, when Roe was still intact, about 10,000 patients were already traveling from other states to have an abortion in Illinois. Abortion providers have predicted that around 20,000 to 30,000 additional patients will be crossing state lines each year to terminate a pregnancy in Illinois after the fall of Roe.

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists warns patients about various “misleading practices” used by some anti-abortion pregnancy centers. Those include asserting false health risks of abortion, attempting to delay abortion care, overestimating gestational age to a point beyond legal abortion limits and showing “disturbing visuals or performing ultrasounds to emotionally manipulate and shame pregnant people under the guise of informing or diagnosing them.
“I think we have to be very clear that your First Amendment rights are not unlimited,” she said. “A business shouldn’t be able to lie to its customers, commit fraud or be deceptive. That’s what we’re talking about.”Beyond the First Amendment argument, Republicans and anti-abortion groups have raised questions about a lack of official documentation of deceptive practices.
“I mean sometimes people make mistakes but we’re very clear even on the phone about who we are and what services we provide,” Barrett said.
