• Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin will try to see patients through Sept. 30 and is not scheduling abortion care beyond that date.
• The affiliate serves about 50,000 patients statewide, with roughly 60% covered by Medicaid, making the cutoff operationally significant.
• The organization is coordinating referrals to other providers and says it is pursuing legal and operational options to restore services.
• Wisconsin's 1849 abortion ban was struck down in July, allowing abortions to resume at three clinics before the new funding restriction took effect.
