Parent-child relationship planning to suspend abortion in Wisconsin
Wisconsin Plan Parent-Child Relations have suspended abortion services since October 1 as they found a way to provide services after funding.

MADION, Wisconsin – All planned parent-child locations in Wisconsin will suspend abortion services scheduling from October 1 after President Donald Trump recently enacted and bills seized taxes that stolen planned parents and Medicaid funds.
Wisconsin’s planned parent-child relationship emphasizes that while the issue works through courts, the move is a temporary retention, with providers working to determine how to continue services within the current legal environment.
In the days leading up to the suspension, the organization said it was working to coordinate with providers across Wisconsin to see as many patients as possible before federal law comes into effect, ensuring patients were “quickly referred and timely and considerate care with as little delay as possible.”
“Wisconsin’s planned parent-child relationships are focused on putting patients first, and always focused. Our commitment is unwavering. Wisconsin’s planned parent-child relationships continue to provide the full scope of reproductive health care, including abortion.” “In the meantime, we are pursuing all the options available through court, operations and civic engagement.”
Planned Parenthood is Dobbsv to suspend abortion scheduling. It happens more than two years after it announced it would resume offering abortions in Wisconsin after it provided 15 months of legal coverage following a US Supreme Court decision at Jackson Women’s Health.
How Trump’s Tax and Expense Act affects planned custody
Trump’s sweeping bill, signed into law in July, includes a one-year measure that bans clinics offering abortions from accepting Medicaid into one of other reproductive services. That provision means that parents and child-related patients with planned parents cannot use Medicaid coverage for other health care services, including obtaining birth control, testing for sexually transmitted diseases, screening for cancer, menopause management, and postnatal care.
Under the 1976 Hyde Amendment, most abortion payments for federal dollars were illegal for decades.
“This is a direct result of Donald Trump’s big, ugly bill,” Sen. Tammy Baldwin said in a statement posted to X.
Under Trump’s law, around 200 planned parent-child clinics in the United States (one third of the network) are facing potential closures, the organization says.
Three of Wisconsin’s 24 planned parent-child clinics in Madison, Milwaukee and Sheboygan offer abortions. The Sheboygan Clinic only offers drug abortions, but the other two also offer surgical abortions.
A federal judge issued a temporary injunction in July to block the enforcement of abortion-related provisions, finding the law is likely to violate the Constitution, particularly by targeting parent-child health centers planned as punishment for providing abortion. However, on September 11, the federal court of appeals put the injunction on hold and also made it possible to re-enforce the provisions pending legal action.
A Wisconsin Planned Custody official said he was “prepared to closely monitor the courts and act in the moment when care can resume.”
The provisions for abortion providers do not mention planned parent-child relationships by name, but the organization argues that they are “specifically designed to punish planned parents and the patients we serve.”
Heather Weininger, executive director of Life to Life in Wisconsin, said the organization’s move “just confirm that Wisconsin’s planned parent-child relationships have long been centered around abortion services.”
“Taxpayer dollars should never fund the innocent birth of lives,” Weininger said in a statement. “Women and girls facing difficult or unexpected pregnancy deserve compassion, real support and life-affirming care. That’s exactly what the life support movement is committed to providing.”
Planned Parenthood serves approximately 50,000 people in Wisconsin, of which approximately 60% are eligible for Medicaid. Organizations are called safety net providers. This means they look at patients regardless of their ability to pay and can make an appointment within a few days. This is in stark contrast to the typical waiting times for new patient appointments at other types of clinics, with an average of over a month.
