The third of Wisconsin’s three Planned Parenthood clinics, that in Sheboygan, will resume providing abortions before the end of the year.
That organization began booking appointments on Monday for procedures beginning on December 28th. Planned Parenthood had committed to the action after a Dane County Jude ruled earlier this month that Wisconsin’s 1849 abortion ban doesn’t apply to consensual abortions, but rather only to feticide. Feticide is generally defined as when a criminal act results in the death of the unborn child, although details within the legal definition can vary from state to state.
Planned Parenthood had already resumed services at its Madison and Milwaukee locations after an earlier ruling from Judge Diane Schlipper in a suit challenging the more than 150-year-old law.
