This ordinance prohibits city agencies from participating in any investigation or proceedings related to reproductive and gender-affirming care by anti-abortion states. As anti-abortion states increasingly try to impose sanctions against people providing legal reproductive healthcare in Illinois, this ordinance codifies the city's commitment to defending people's fundamental and reproductive healthcare rights.
