SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — Abortion care services will resume on Dec. 28 at Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin’s Sheboygan Health Center, officials announced Monday.
The center had announced the resuming of services following a Dane County Circuit judge’s judgement on Dec. 5 that reaffirmed an earlier ruling that state law permits consensual medical abortions.
“With patients and community as our priority, we are excited to resume abortion services at our Sheboygan health center,” said Tanya Atkinson, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin. “Being able to provide this essential care at another health center is important to the health and well-being of Wisconsin women and people across the gender spectrum who need care.”
Officials said patients can now begin to book appointments at the center. Appointments are also available at the Milwaukee Water Street and Madison East Health Centers.
The Sheboygan Health Center had remained open even amid the suspension of abortion services, offering family planning and other reproductive health care. Now, that care will once again include abortion.
“Abortion is health care, and we are eager to resume providing this essential care at our Sheboygan Health Center,” said Dr. Allie Linton, chief medical officer of Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin. “Patients who walk through our doors can again know they will receive the comprehensive, high quality, nonjudgmental, and confidential reproductive care they deserve.”
But Atkinson said there is still more work to do.
“We will continue essential work to help protect and expand reproductive freedom in Wisconsin so that everyone who needs comprehensive reproductive health care in our state can get the nonjudgmental and compassionate care they deserve,” Atkinson said in a press release.
