Illinois Abortion Providers, Advocates sound alarm about Greyhound Station Closure (Chicago, IL) – (September 4, 2024) – A coalition of Illinois abortion providers and advocates sounded the alarm on Wednesday about plans to close Chicago’s Greyhound bus station.

“The Chicago Greyhound station is crucial for access to abortion in Chicago. Pregnant people from other parts of Illinois and from abortion-restricted states all across the country use Greyhound to reach Chicago for care,” the coalition said in a statement. “We urge the City of Chicago to work with Greyhound and other stakeholders to identify and implement a solution that preserves this critical mode of transportation to Chicago for abortion seekers. We stand ready to support them in that work.”

Partners signing on to the statement include Chicago Abortion Fund; Family Planning Associates; Dr. Jonah Fleisher, Abortion Provider & Complex Abortion Regional Line for Access (CARLA) Co-Director; Illinois Choice Action Team; Dr. Laura Laursen, Abortion Provider & CARLA Co-Director; Personal PAC; and Planned Parenthood Illinois Action.
