Planned Parenthood to resume abortion services in Wisconsin

MADISON (WKOW) -- Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin (PPWI) will offer abortion services in the state again starting Monday.

The organization announced the services will resume at its Water Street Health Center in Milwaukee and its Madison East Health Center.  

PPWI stopped offering abortions in June 2022 after Roe v. Wade was overturned. After the decision, it was unclear if the state's 1849 abortion ban was enforceable.

Though PPWI believed the ban wasn't enforceable, it decided to suspend abortion services under the threat of prosecution.

Tanya Atkinson, President and CEO of PPWI, said the organization is bringing back abortion services after a court confirmation that there is no enforceable ban on "consensual medical abortions."

Patients can schedule appointments starting Thursday, Sept. 14 online at ppwi.org or by calling 844-493-1052.
