After a recent ruling from a Dane County Judge on Wisconsin’s 1849 abortion ban, Planned Parenthood Wisconsin says they will resume abortion services at the Sheboygan clinic as soon as possible.
The judge ruled that the law doesn’t apply to consensual abortions.
The group says they “celebrate this ruling, but there is more to be done. We will continue essential work to help protect and expand reproductive freedom in Wisconsin so that everyone who needs comprehensive reproductive health care in our state can get the nonjudgmental and compassionate care they deserve.”
The Anti-abortion group Wisconsin Right to Life says, “the ruling is truly disappointing for all Wisconsinites. A law that was enforced before the flawed decision of Roe V. Wade is now one that pro-choice activists on the court are willing to use as a tool for their cause. Instead of providing safety for women and families and are putting lives on the line.”
Most likely, the ruling will be appealed.
