Wisconsin Supreme Court to Hear Planned Parenthood's Abortion Rights Case

Court initiates investigation into leaked draft order while poised to address constitutional protections for abortion.

The court will consider whether the Wisconsin Constitution protects the right to abortion, as argued by Planned Parenthood.
A draft order indicates the court will deny anti-abortion groups' requests to intervene but will allow them to submit briefs.
Chief Justice Annette Ziegler has called for a law enforcement investigation into the leaked draft document.
The case bypasses lower courts due to its significant statewide implications and urgent nature.
The court's decision could potentially overturn a 175-year-old state law interpreted as an abortion ban.
