We joined the Wisconsin Doulas of Color Collective, Freedom Inc., Wisconsin Abortion Support Network, and Reproductive Justice Action Milwaukee in filing an amicus brief at the Wisconsin Supreme Court in Planned Parenthood v. Urmanski, supporting the legal challenge to Wisconsin’s 1849 abortion law and asking that the Supreme Court overturn it.
The brief states that the 176-year-old ban violates the Wisconsin Constitution’s guarantee to afford equal rights to all people, arguing that the adverse effects of outlawing abortion fall disproportionately on marginalized communities, including people of color, rural residents, immigrants and undocumented people, and low-income populations.
