MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Women can now get medication-induced abortions at Wisconsin clinics after a Dane County judge blocked a recent state law from restricting that procedure. The law enacted last year requires three doctor visits for women seeking nonsurgical abortions by taking pills, a common practice used outside Wisconsin. Doctors have to determine if a woman is being coerced into having an abortion through a private consultation. Web-based consultations are prohibited. Dane County Judge Richard Niess issued an injunction in April, barring the law's provisions from taking into effect. The Wisconsin State Journal (http://bit.ly/16aNxvH ) reports the 2012 law has stopped Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin from offering pill-based abortions since April last year. The organization says that practice accounted for about 45 percent of pregnancy-termination procedures they were using.
