Planned Parenthood Wisconsin shuts down clinic after Walker signs abortion law

The
ultrasound bill Governor Scott Walker signed on Friday has already paid
dividends. The Planned Parenthood abortion business has shut down one clinic in
Appleton and another facility end abortions at
another center in Green Bay.
From a local news
story:
The law also requires that
in order to legally perform an abortion, a doctor must have admitting
privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of where the abortion will occur.
Planned Parenthood says that
provision will force its Appleton clinic to
close, and will lead to long waiting lists in Milwaukee.
“If there’s a long waiting
list, that’s a real problem for women getting access. It’s a problem for their
health. It can lead to tragic consequences. Just the sheer distance is a
tremendous barrier,” Huyck said.
Planned Parenthood says the
law will have an immediate impact. It is preparing to close its Appleton clinic on Monday.
That would mean abortions in
Wisconsin would not be available north of Madison, and after the
19th week of pregnancy would not be available anywhere in the state, according
to the suit.
