Applaud the WI Supreme Court for Protecting Abortion Rights

Victory for reproductive freedom in Wisconsin!

The Wisconsin Supreme Court has just struck down the state’s 1849 abortion ban — a law that criminalized abortion in nearly all cases and threatened doctors with prison. In a 4-3 ruling, the court affirmed that the 176-year-old statute was repealed by more recent legislation, restoring legal access to abortion care for millions of Wisconsinites.

This momentous decision wouldn’t have been possible without years of relentless organizing, litigation, and voter turnout that reshaped the ideological balance of the court. The ruling sends a clear message: reproductive rights are a constitutional matter, and politicians from another century should not dictate the health care decisions of today.

Add your name to applaud the Wisconsin Supreme Court for defending reproductive rights, restoring dignity to patients and providers, and affirming that abortion is health care!
