Sheboygan Co, Wisconsin DA says he will prosecute those who violate abortion law
SHEBOYGAN COUNTY, Wis. -- Sheboygan County District Attorney Joel Urmanski says he will prosecute abortion providers if there's an alleged violation against Wisconsin's 1849 abortion ban.
It comes as dozens of prosecutors across the country are pledging to not press charges in wake of Friday's U.S. Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, a decision that shifts the spotlight to states who are left to decide the fate of abortion access.he will enforce Wisconsin's 1849 abortion law that criminally bans the procedure in almost all cases.
Urmanski's comments are significant after district attorneys in Dane and Milwaukee County vowed to not press charges against abortion providers. There are four abortion clinics in Wisconsin operated by Planned Parenthood in Dane, Milwaukee, Brown and Sheboygan County. Those Planned Parenthood clinics stopped abortion procedures as of last week, but Attorney General Josh Kaul said district attorneys in those counties still have significant leeway in what cases they prosecute.
"The possibility that someone could be prosecuted is still there," Kaul said."Our suit will resolve that issue."
