Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz Shuts Down Center in Wisconsin

A Planned Parenthood facility in Delavan, Wisconsin, has permanently closed its doors, marking a significant moment for pro-life advocates in the state.

The closure, effective July 31, was confirmed by Pro-Life Wisconsin, a group dedicated to protecting life from conception.

Dan Miller, state director of Pro-Life Wisconsin, announced the closure in a blog post, stating, “Planned Parenthood in Delavan is closed! Yes! It is true! Planned Parenthood in Delavan is CLOSED!”

Miller noted that Google Maps lists the facility as permanently closed, and during a visit on September 8, he observed signs posted inside the glass door and office window confirming the permanent closure.

“The marquee sign they had up on the side of the building was gone,” Miller added, highlighting the absence of the facility’s signage.

Miller speculated on the reasons behind the Delavan closure, suggesting it could be linked to legislative efforts to defund Planned Parenthood – including the recent legislation Congress passed and President Donald Trump signed to defund the abortion giant.

“Could it be because of the many bills Pro-Life Wisconsin has pushed over the years to cut off public funding of contraception to Planned Parenthood? Hard to say,” he wrote.

The closure comes amid a shifting legal landscape for abortion in Wisconsin.

On July 2, the Wisconsin Supreme Court struck down an 1849 law that had been interpreted as banning abortion except in cases where the mother’s life was in danger. The court ruled that subsequent legislation over the past 50 years, including pro-life laws for informed consent and waiting periods, had “impliedly repealed” the near-total ban, effectively legalizing abortion under current state laws.

Pro-Life Wisconsin expressed disappointment with the court’s decision at the time.

Legislative Director Matt Sande commented, “Pro-Life Wisconsin wholly opposes this egregious ruling overturning Wisconsin’s abortion ban from the moment of conception.”

The group vowed to continue its efforts to “outlaw abortion without exception, pass a personhood amendment enshrining the right to life in the Wisconsin Constitution, and enact pro-life, pro-family legislation that helps build a culture of life in our great state.”

The Delavan closure represents a small but meaningful victory for pro-life advocates, who see it as a step toward reducing abortion access in Wisconsin. As Miller noted, if more Planned Parenthood facilities close, it may signal the impact of ongoing efforts to limit public funding for the organization.

For now, the empty marquee outside the Delavan building stands as a symbol of hope for those in the pro-life movement, even as they brace for legalized abortion for potentially years to come.
