The Wisconsin Supreme Court has struck down the state’s 176-year-old abortion ban. The court’s liberal majority ruled 4-3 on Wednesday that the ban is no longer valid because newer abortion restrictions superseded it.

Abortion providers in the state resumed the procedure in 2023 after a judge ruled that a more recent law superseded the 176-year-old ban.

Advocates in Illinois warned that people in Wisconsin still face other obstacles to accessing reproductive care.
