Part II – Personal PAC Legislative Questionnaire – Health of the Mother
The Personal PAC questionnaire notes that 41 states—“including Illinois”—outlaw abortions after viability, except to protect the life and health of the woman.

Bolton is so loose that an abortion can be committed in Illinois after viability, regardless what Personal PAC asserts.
