Illinois abortion clinic says 45% of patients come from Wisconsin

WISCONSIN (CBS 58) -- A Rockford abortion clinic says nearly half of its patients have come from Wisconsin. 

The Rockford Family Planning Center, which has only been open six months, has provided 403 pill abortions with 180 coming from north of the border. 

Dr. Dennis Christensen, who opened the Rockford facility earlier this year, says criminalizing individuals for crossing state lines to have an abortion is "ridiculous."
