Wisconsin lawmakers enacted statutes in 1849 that had been interpreted as outlawing abortion in all cases except to save the mother's life.
adison, Wis. — The Wisconsin Supreme Court decided Tuesday to consider two challenges to a 175-year-old law that conservatives maintain bans abortion without letting the cases wind through lower courts.
The court released orders indicating the justices voted unanimously to take Urmanski's appeal and voted 4-3 to take the Planned Parenthood case. The court's four liberal justices voted to take that case, and the three conservative justices voted against taking it. The conservative justices accused the liberal majority in their Planned Parenthood dissents of playing politics.
