A new abortion clinic has opened in Rockford, Illinois. A Wisconsin doctor bought two facilities in Rockford to turn into abortion clinics after a US Supreme Court decision struck down Roe v. Wade last year, making abortions illegal in Wisconsin unless a mother’s life is at risk.
The head of the new clinic says it will begin by prescribing medication to medically induce abortions. WTVO TV reported protesters were outside The Rockford Family Planning Center on opening day.
