MADISON (WKOW) -- A federal judge extended a temporary injunction blocking enforcement of a provision in a new Wisconsin law that would require doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of their clinic.
Judge William Conley says he will make a decision on the permanence of that order within the next two weeks. Judge Conley made the announcement late Wednesday morning, following a hearing at the federal courthouse in downtown Madison.
Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin and the American Civil Liberties Union of Wisconsin (ACLU) are suing the State of Wisconsin over that specific provision of the law.
