Planned Parenthood and Affiliated Medical Services filed the suit, claiming the law would force several abortion clinics to close, and U.S. District Judge William Conley issued an injunction to keep the law from taking effect until he issues a ruling, according to the report.
The Wisconsin Department of Justice then filed a case with the 7th Circuit Court of appeals to overturn Mr. Conley’s injunction. The department has also requested a stay on the suit filed in Mr. Conley’s court, arguing two simultaneous rulings regarding the law would create confusion, according to the report.
Mr. Conley’s injunction will remain in effect in the interim, according to the report.
