Schimel v. Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin, will examine a Wisconsin law that requires all doctors who perform abortions have admitting privileges in a hospital within 30 miles of where the abortions are performed. Wis. Stat. § 253.095(2) (2013). Doctors who fail to comply can be fined up to $10,000 and are exposed to liability from the women who had the abortion and her family. Wis. Stat. § 253.095(3-4). The plaintiffs filled a §1983 suit against state officials in Wisconsin arguing that the law has no health benefits and is simply an attempt to deny women their Constitutional right to have an abortion. Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin, Inc. v. Schimel, 806 F.3d 908, 910 (7th Cir. 2015).
