Madison, Wis. – Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin supports the Dane County Circuit Court decision to not dismiss Attorney General Josh Kaul’s lawsuit challenging the legality of Wisconsin’s 1849 abortion ban.
Statement from Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin CEO Tanya Atkinson
“Today’s ruling is an important step in restoring and expanding access to abortion and reproductive freedom in Wisconsin.
Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin has always contended that Wisconsin State Statute 940.04 is unenforceable in regard to abortion care. We agree with this decision.
We have reviewed the decision and are working with attorneys and PPWI leadership in continuing to evaluate our options in providing abortion care as soon as we can.”
