Open abortion clinics in Wisconsin

TO BE RESEARCHED

The most definitive information on closures following the 2022 Supreme Court decision is that no abortion clinics in Wisconsin closed their doors entirely as a direct, immediate result of the state’s post-Dobbs legal situation, though they all stopped providing abortion services for a time.

Here’s a breakdown of what happened:

1. Before Dobbs (June 2022): There were four clinics in Wisconsin providing abortion services, located in Milwaukee (two), Madison, and Sheboygan.

2. After Dobbs: Due to the uncertainty surrounding the enforceability of a pre-Civil War-era state law banning nearly all abortions, all four clinics immediately ceased providing abortion care. They continued to offer other health services.

3. Resumption of Services: A state court ruling in late 2023 clarified that the old law only applied to feticide, not consensual abortions. As a result, all four clinics—three operated by Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin (in Madison, Milwaukee, and Sheboygan) and one independent clinic (Affiliated Medical Services in Milwaukee)—resumed abortion services.

Therefore, the services were halted at four locations, but the physical clinics themselves did not close entirely or permanently stop providing services due to the state’s abortion ban,

Note: There has been a more recent announcement (September 2025 in the search results) that Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin planned to pause abortions at its three clinics due to federal Medicaid funding cuts, but this is a separate, more recent financial issue and not a closure directly tied to the 2022 state abortion ban.
