Excessive noise outside Family Planning Associates, a Chicago health care clinic, is putting everyone’s safety at risk.
Employees from the Family Planning Associates clinic in downtown Chicago are overcome with emotion as abortion rights marchers pass by on May 14, 2022.
Large crowds of anti-abortion activists gather outside the health care clinic and use megaphones and microphones, harassing patients and employees and threatening their sense of safety. Many who come to FPA for abortion care are local to Chicago, while others travel long distances from states in the South and Midwest where abortion care is banned or severely restricted. The staff members who work at FPA are there to perform their day-to-day work as health care professionals and provide compassionate care for everyone who walks through the door.Health care decisions are a private matter between a patient and their provider.
Anti-abortion rights forces have already delayed the vote on this ordinance. We at Personal PAC and FPA, along with many of the volunteer clinic escorts with the Illinois Choice Action Team who deal firsthand with this noise and harassment, showed up to City Hall in May expecting a clear and decisive vote.
