MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin says it will stop scheduling patients for abortions starting next week as it works to provide the service in the face of Medicaid funding cuts in President Donald Trump’s tax and spending bill. Abortion funding across the U.S. has been under siege, particularly Planned Parenthood affiliates, which are the biggest provider.
The organization warned earlier this year that about half its clinics that provide abortion could be closed as a result of a ban on Medicaid funding for the nonprofit for services other than abortion.
Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin said Thursday it would pause scheduling abortions after the new law takes effect on Wednesday.
