Judge Rules Medical Abortions Legal, With DA Appeal Expected

Frederica Freyberg:

In another win for abortion advocates, a Wisconsin judge ruled this week that a 175-year-old law on Wisconsin’s books does not ban consensual abortions. The ruling from Dane County Circuit Court Judge Diane Schlipper was a declaratory judgment solidifying her interpretation of the law. Sheboygan County District Attorney Joel Urmanski, a Republican and a defendant in the case, says he plans to appeal.
