CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- As the U.S. Supreme Court hears arguments on Louisiana's restrictive abortion law, a few dozen abortion-rights demonstrators gathered at Chicago's Federal Plaza Wednesday afternoon.
Abortion rights are a very personal issue for Lindsay Cogan of Chicago.
"I made an appointment with my doctor and then I had an abortion," she said.
That was in 2011.
"I know lots of people that live in places where access isn't as easy as it is here, and they have considered doing really, really dangerous things because they don't have the option. It's too expensive or it's just not feasible because it's too far away. And that's awful."
The demonstrators in Federal Plaza want the Supreme Court to strike down a restrictive abortion law in Louisiana.
The anti-abortion group Thomas More Society says Illinois' abortion policies are extreme, and the group supports the Louisiana law.
