Reproductive Health
The recent Dobbs decision by the Supreme Court has impacted specific reproductive health procedures in the state of Wisconsin due to a pre-existing 1849 law that is currently under review and additional litigation. Up-to-date information can be found through the resources listed below. This is currently not impacting medications such as Plan B, nor miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy care. In addition, abortion remains legal in the neighboring states of Minnesota and Illinois, which are within a 1-3 hr drive from Madison. https://www.uhs.wisc.edu/gynecology/pregnancy-resources/
