The RV will drive along the border of Illinois — a state with liberal abortion laws — to cater to pregnant women in neighboring states that are restricting abortion.


Planned Parenthood is responding to state abortion restrictions by trying something new: an abortion facility on wheels. It will send its first one — a 37-foot abortion RV — to Illinois, where it will offer abortions at various locations by the end of this year.

As the nation’s largest abortion provider maps the best routes for the mobile facility, it is considering churches, as “potential stopping-off points,” NPR reported Monday.


The mobile facility could be the first of many. Planned Parenthood is keeping open the possibility of creating additional ones in the future, the outlet reported officials as saying. The news follows the Supreme Court’s June decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and leave abortion policy up to the states.

The abortion RV will drive along the border of Illinois — a state with liberal abortion laws — to cater to pregnant women in neighboring states that are restricting abortion after Roe. More specifically, the vehicle will travel near the borders of southeastern Missouri, western Kentucky and northeastern Tennessee while staying in Illinois, according to the AP.
