Even though Sheboygan County District Attorney Joel Urmanski has said that he’d prosecute doctors that violate the state’s 1849 abortion ban, Planned Parenthood is preparing to resume abortion services in Sheboygan soon. The organization said that they’re dealing with a staffing issue, and then plan to reopen their doors on South Taylor Drive.
Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin resumed abortion services earlier this month in Milwaukee and Madison, citing a July ruling by a Dane County judge that the1849 law is not enforceable for voluntary abortions.
Wisconsin Family Council President Julaine Appling was in Madison on Tuesday, joining other pro-life groups demanding that district attorneys in Milwaukee and Dane Counties “enforce the law if there are, indeed, and we believe there are, indeed, abortions taking place at the Milwaukee and Madison facilities of Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin right now, then charges should be brought against those who are doing those abortions.”
