Mobile abortion clinic in Illinois to offer services on borders of states with bans

Planned Parenthood will debut the traveling facility later this year to meet increased demand from neighboring states

Planned Parenthood officials on Monday announced plans for a mobile abortion clinic - a 37ft recreational vehicle that will stay in Illinois but travel close to the borders of adjoining states that have banned the procedure since the US supreme court overturned Roe v Wade earlier this year.

The announcement came 100 days after the supreme court ruling that stripped away constitutional protections for abortions, allowing states to ban the procedure.
