Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin will pause abortions starting on October 1 to comply with the Big Beautiful Bill, which deprives the abortion mill of Medicaid funding if it performs abortions.
The organization has sued President Donald Trump’s administration, claiming “it knows Congress and Trump specifically went after it because the provision applies to nonprofit organizations that made $800,000 or more from Medicaid payments in 2023.”
From The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
Officials with the organization stressed that the move is a temporary hold while the issue works its way through the courts and providers work to determine how to continue services within the current legal landscape.In the days leading up to Sept. 30, the organization is coordinating with providers throughout Wisconsin and working to see as many patients as possible before the federal law takes effect, ensuring patients are “referred swiftly and receive timely, compassionate care with as little delay as possible.””Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin is — and always will be — focused on putting our patients first. Our commitment is unwavering: Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin will continue to provide the full spectrum of reproductive health care — including abortion — as soon as we are able to,” Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin president and CEO Tanya Atkinson said in a statement. “In the meantime, we are pursuing every available option — through the courts, through operations, and civic engagement.”

Only three of Wisconsin’s 24 Planned Parenthood clinics provide abortions.
