6-25-22 wisconsin planned parenthood halts abortions after ruling

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Planned Parenthood in Wisconsin has halted all scheduled abortions at its clinics in Madison and Milwaukee following the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling striking down the Roe v. Wade decision. Wisconsin has an 1849 law that bans abortion, except to save the life of the mother, but whether that law is enforceable was expected to be the center of yet-to-be-filed lawsuits. Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin President Tanya Atkinson said in a statement Friday that the group will now focus on getting patients in Wisconsin access to “safe abortion care where it remains legal, offering travel assistance, and providing appropriate follow-up care when they return home.”
