Democratic Attorney General Kwame Raoul of Illinois announced Monday that he filed a motion agreeing not to enforce a state law that targeted pregnancy centers for using alleged “deceptive acts” to lead women away from getting an abortion.

JB Pritzker in July and would punish pro-life pregnancy centers with $50,000 for using alleged “deceptive acts or practices” to prevent women from gaining access to abortion or “induce” a woman to use the services of the pregnancy center.
