Anti-abortion groups are once again going before the Illinois Supreme Court.

The debate continues over whether Illinois’ law allowing for taxpayer-funded abortions violates the state constitution. A trial judge dismissed the case last year but anti-abortion advocates are fighting back. 

A group of state lawmakers and anti-abortion groups filed suit against the state of Illinois Thursday. The Thomas More Society filed the suit, which is aimed at blocking a new law that will allow state money to pay for some abortions.

Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner has signed HB 40, legislation that provides state health insurance and Medicaid coverage for abortions. 

A measure that would allow taxpayer funding for abortions is finally on its way to Gov. Bruce Rauner's desk today.
