What happened
Tariffs are increasing household costs within Wisconsin. Concurrently, Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin has filed a lawsuit against the State of Wisconsin seeking to overturn two state abortion restrictions. The lawsuit argues that state statutes do not require patients to wait 24 hours for a vasectomy or impose medically unnecessary prerequisites.
