Patient care after the Dobbs decision: A look at the legal landscape

This year’s Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade has focused attention on a 173-year-old state law making it a felony to provide an abortion in Wisconsin except to save the life of a pregnant person—with some prosecutors claiming they will enforce the ban.

That’s left healthcare providers scrambling to interpret the 1849 law, its potential applicability, and how it affects patient care.

At a Wisconsin Health News panel on Oct. 11, experts will weigh in on the current situation and what’s next.

Panelists:

• Diane Welsh, Attorney at Law, Pines Bach LLP
• Dr. Wendy Molaska, President, Wisconsin Medical Society
• Angela Rust, Shareholder, von Briesen & Roper, s.c.
• Dr. Abigail Cutler, Department of OB-GYN, UW
