On November 11, 2024, the Wisconsin Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on Josh Kaul v. Joel Urmanski, Case Number 23AP2362. The Wisconsin Supreme Court accepted jurisdiction of this case following a bypass of the Court of Appeals.  This is a review of a decision of the Dane County Circuit Court, Judge Diane Schlipper presiding, that  declared Wisconsin’s pre-Roe abortion statute, Wis. Stat. § 940.04, unenforceable as applied to consensual  abortions. District Attorney Joel Urmanski (“the appellant”) argues that the statute remains enforceable in  light of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which  overturned Roe v. Wade. Attorney General Josh Kaul, along with the Wisconsin Department of Safety and  Professional Services, the Wisconsin Medical Examining Board, and Dr. Clarence P. Chou (collectively, the  “State Plaintiffs”), seek a declaration that the 19th-century statute does not apply to consensual abortions  and should not be enforced.
