Instead of getting champagne and a pat on the back from the abortion media, an abortionist in Champaign County, Illinois, is being served a lawsuit instead.   A recent lawsuit from a “Jane Doe” out of Illinois alleged that in April 2023, she went to Dr. Keith Reisinger-Kindle and his Equity Clinic for a surgical abortion when Doe was 22 weeks
