Wisconsin Planned Parenthood Will Stop Providing Abortions

This is just awful: Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin has announced that starting October 1, it will stop providing abortions so it can continue providing all of its other health services to Medicaid patients.

First reported by Autonomy News, the move comes in response to a court ruling earlier this month that allows the Trump administration to enforce the “defund” portion of Republicans’ federal budget law—which bars organizations that provide abortion services from receiving Medicaid funds.

While some affiliates have been able to bridge the funding gap with state money, Wisconsin’s Planned Parenthood is the first Planned Parenthood organization to stop providing abortions in response to Trump’s law. President and CEO Tanya Atkinson offered this statement:

“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. In the meantime, we are pursuing every available option—through the courts, through operations, and civic engagement.”

Atkinson stressed that the move is temporary, and that the organization is trying to see as many abortion patients as possible before the end of the month.

The Associated Press reports that Illinois providers are preparing for an influx of patients as a result of the decision. Megan Jeyifo, executive director of the Chicago Abortion Fund, said, “We will not abandon people when they need us.” Both she and Dr. Allison Cowett, medical director for Family Planning Associates, told the AP that they will likely increase their staffing in order to keep up with the new patients they expect from Wisconsin.

And while Adrienne White-Faines, CEO of Planned Parenthood of Illinois, says that they’re ready and able to accept those patients, “The challenge is that this is not sustainable.”

Remember, Illinois is already serving a huge number of out-of-state patients: the Guttmacher Institute reported that nearly a quarter of patients who leave their states for abortion care are heading to Illinois.

A spokesperson from Planned Parenthood Federation of America said in a statement that “this is the chaos” Republicans wanted to see.

“At PPFA, we know that local leaders and providers are grappling with the uncertainty of delivering the care that patients deserve through a patchwork of ‘defunding’, state bans, and other barriers. We will continue to be here for them as they navigate what the path forward might look like.

At the same time, there are things we can say with certainty: Providing abortion in every state where it is legal to do so is central to Planned Parenthood’s mission. We are committed to ensuring that there is a Planned Parenthood provider proudly delivering the full spectrum of reproductive health care, including abortion, in every state where it’s legal.”

To track ongoing attacks on Planned Parenthood, AED is launching a new section that you’ll find at the end of the newsletter: Clinic Watch will provide updates about Planned Parenthood and other reproductive care clinics across the country.

In the Nation

Yesterday, Abortion, Every Day reported that the FDA and HHS plan to conduct their own “study” into mifepristone’s safety—the Trump administration’s latest attack on the abortion medication. Since then, the story has been picked up across the country (and abroad!), from ABC News and CNN to Bloomberg, Scripps, CBS News, and more.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: We don’t need AED to get credit—sometimes it’s even better that way. What matters is getting the story out there and making sure it’s framed correctly. And even though this happens pretty often these days, it still makes me proud every single time. In a moment when everything feels so difficult, it’s good to know we’re making an impact. If you missed our story, read it below:

A few new things to flag: CNN’s coverage highlights a letter to FDA Commissioner Martin Makary from the Society of Family Planning. The letter outlines the many flaws in the junk science study from the Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC)—the one Makary and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. keep citing as supposed evidence of problems with mifepristone. Not that you need more proof of how ridiculous the EPPC report is, but if you want extra ammunition, the letter is worth a read.

I also agree with Carrie N. Baker, author of Abortion Pills: US History and Politics. She tells Scripps that while restricting mifepristone would be a disaster, “it would not stop abortion.”

“It would not stop the flow of abortion pills to people on the ground,” she said.
