In the wake of that ruling, abortion care will again be available starting on Monday at Planned Parenthood centers in Milwaukee and Madison, according to Tanya Atkinson, the president of Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin. The people of Wisconsin have been without this essential and necessary care for over a year," said Atkinson in a video statement. Planned Parenthood, the state's biggest abortion provider, is the first to make the announcement. "Planned Parenthood is more concerned about their bottom line and keeping abortion dollars in Wisconsin than finding a way to help women in unplanned pregnancies," said Heather Weininger, the head of Wisconsin Right to Life, in a statement.

Planned Parenthood will resume abortions in Wisconsin next week, after a state court ruled that a 174-year-old criminal law does not ban the procedure. Abortion services will resume on Monday at Planned Parenthood's clinics in Milwaukee and Madison, according to a statement issued Thursday by the organization's Wisconsin chapter. "In consultation with attorneys, physicians, partners and stakeholders, Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin is confident in our decision to resume abortion care in Wisconsin," Tanya Atkinson, CEO of Planned Parenthood Wisconsin, said in a video statement Thursday. Planned Parenthood temporarily suspended abortion services in Wisconsin on the same day the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that for 50 years had protected the procedure as a constitutional right.
