Assembly Democratic Leader Greta Neubauer and Senate Democratic Leader Dianne Hesselbein released the following statement:
“Planned Parenthood is a cornerstone of Wisconsin’s health care system. Tens of thousands of individuals and families depend on Planned Parenthood for family planning and necessary and often lifesaving medical services including pregnancy tests, birth control, STD testing, and abortion.
“It is very clear that the Trump administration and Republican extremists are focused on targeting access to reproductive health care. Planned Parenthood’s announcement that it is pausing abortion services is the latest example of the devastating effects of Trump’s Big, Ugly Bill. Wisconsinites will continue to have their lives upended and their wellbeing threatened by that piece of legislation.
“It is important to note that abortion is and remains legal in the State of Wisconsin. Those who need that health care should continue to contact Planned Parenthood for help in finding access to those services or reach out to other providers who offer abortion services.”
