Planned Parenthood Resumes Abortion Services in Wisconsin After Judge Rules 1849 Law Doesn't Ban Medical Abortions
- Planned Parenthood has resumed offering abortions in Wisconsin after halting services for over a year following the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
- A judge recently ruled that Wisconsin's 1849 abortion ban does not apply to medical abortions, allowing services to resume.
- Planned Parenthood clinics in Madison and Milwaukee have started performing abortions again and are fully booked.
- The lawsuit challenging the 1849 law is still pending and could go to the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
- Abortion providers hope to expand services across Wisconsin, but there are ongoing legal concerns about future access in the state.
