Planned Parenthood to Resume Abortions in Sheboygan County, Despite Pending Appeal
Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin is not waiting until the challenges to the state’s 1849 abortion law are settled to resume abortions in Sheboygan County.
Planned Parenthood has begun booking appointments.
“Being able to provide this essential care at another health center is important to the health and well-being of Wisconsin women and people across the gender spectrum who need care,” Tanya Atkinson, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin said.
Sheboygan is one of three cities in Wisconsin where women could get an abortion pre-Dobbs. Milwaukee and Madison were the others.
Sheboygan is also where the challenge to the recent ruling that Wisconsin’s abortion ban doesn’t really ban abortions is coming from.
District Attorney Joel Urmanski has already promised to challenge the ruling from a Dane County judge who declared that Wisconsin’s near-total ban on abortions doesn’t ban consensual abortions, and only applies to killing babies.
