Planned Parenthood is pausing abortions in Wisconsin because federal legislation preventing Medicaid from funding abortion services for one year goes into effect Oct. 1.
Wisconsin Right to Life praised the news.
“Taxpayer dollars should never fund the taking of innocent preborn lives,” Heather Weininger, executive director of Wisconsin Right to Life, said in a Sept. 25 WisPolitics article. “Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin has long centered its operations around abortion services, and this announcement only confirms that reality.”
The Big Beautiful Bill, signed into law by President Donald Trump July 4, prevents Medicaid dollars from funding abortions. A federal judge initially blocked this change, as CatholicVote previously reported, but a US Appeals Court panel said Sept. 11 that the move could continue for now, according to the Associated Press.
Wisconsin appears to be the first state where Planned Parenthood is pausing abortions in response to the Big Beautiful Bill, according to AP News.
There are currently three Planned Parenthood locations in Wisconsin that provide abortions – Milwaukee, Madison, and Sheboygan – according to the Planned Parenthood website. The organization said that about 60% of people using Planned Parenthood’s services are covered by Medicaid, according to AP News.
Leadership of Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin stresses that it sees this as a pause, and that they still view abortion as an essential part of their work.
“Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin will continue to provide the full spectrum of reproductive health care, including abortion, as soon and as we are able to,” Tanya Atkinson, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin, said, according to AP News. “In the meantime, we are pursuing every available option through the courts, through operations, and civic engagement.”
Planned Parenthood killed at least 3,727 unborn children through abortion procedures in Wisconsin between Oct. 1, 2023, and Sept. 30, 2024, according to AP News
Some women seeking abortions will likely travel to Chicago, which is within a 3-hour drive from all three Wisconsin Planned Parenthoods that currently provide abortions.
“Illinois is ready and will be able to accept patients,” Planned Parenthood of Illinois CEO Adrienne White Faines said, according to AP News. “The challenge is that this is not sustainable.”
Wisconsin Right to Life leadership sees the pausing of abortions in Wisconsin as a chance for the pro-life movement in the state to step up and help mothers in need.
“Women and girls facing difficult or unexpected pregnancies deserve compassion, real support, and life-affirming care — and that’s exactly what the pro-life movement is committed to providing,” Weininger said.

They demand we pay to murder the children that they don’t want.
It’s satanic.
L
They are also covered for birth control they don’t use.
Why don’t they declare the Planned Parenthood buildings and parking lots “sanctuary abortion women’s health centers” like the cities where illegals wanted for 35 crimes can relax as authorities won’t turn them in?
To be honest, I don’t know why they would pause it because of this. We’re told stories by women how awful it was they had to pay for their abortions, from their very own funds. They certainly are able to take cash and credit card payments.
RE: how many abortions paid for by tax dollars....
Nine year old article in Forbes Magazine: (24% of them).

Over 40% of Planned Parenthood revenue comes from government reimbursements and grants.

Hm. Almost as if abortion is a money making part of their business plan.
Terrorists ✖️
And should be designated.
The most important part of fighting abortion is to educate women. Mostly young women choose to get pregnant because abortion is readily available. They have no idea what abortion actually is. They’ve been told that they have a right to abortion, and that it is no different than using condoms or another non-lethal form of birth control. Would they choose abortion if they understood that it is really the elimination of another human life? Some would, some wouldn’t. I think that women deserve to be accurately educated on the nature of abortion.
I’m stuck with Medicaid thanks to hubby cutting off my survivor benefits during one of his more vicious dementia episodes.
I need glasses I can actually see with, a hearing aid and really complicated dental care.
I will have to beg and fight for any of those things but if I wanted to abort a baby, they’d roll out the red carpet.
Tell me that is not pure evil.
All of abortion is pushed as a women’s right to hide the vast amounts of government and NGO money being pushed into it.
They don’t care about women. They just want to kill babies and get paid for it.
