Reproductive rights advocates celebrated Friday after Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed legislation expanding protections for abortion patients and health care workers, as well as widening the pool of abortion providers, to help meet the recent spike in demand.The law - which shields patients and providers from legal actions taken by other states - comes as Illinois faces a massive surge in out-of-state abortion patients following U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in June.
