MADISON – In response to Planned Parenthood’s pause on providing abortion services in Wisconsin, Sen. Kelda Roys and Rep. Lisa Subeck introduced the Abortion Accessibility Act to improve access for patients around the state who will need abortion care during the pause.
The legislation removes onerous bans and restrictions that, when paired with the Big Ugly Bill signed by the Trump regime, effectively impose a backdoor abortion ban. While abortion remains legal in Wisconsin, it is difficult to get care for many Wisconsinites because of politically imposed hurdles on how and when people can make decisions about their own reproductive health care.
Senator Roys released the following statement about the legislation:
“Politicians have implemented medically unnecessary restrictions and bans on how care can be provided — we are aiming to undo that and undo the backdoor ban they have created. Our legislation targets the onerous restrictions on abortion care that have made the Big Ugly Bill signed into law by the Trump regime harmful for healthcare access across the state of Wisconsin.”
