The Wisconsin Supreme Court has struck down the state’s 176-year-old abortion ban. The court’s liberal majority ruled 4-3 on Wednesday that the ban is no longer valid because newer abortion restrictions superseded it.

Wisconsin justices ruled 4-3 to overturn a near abortion ban, a reflection of the court's liberal majority and an election that attracted millions in campaign donations.

Women in Wisconsin will continue to have access to abortion services under a new ruling from the state's highest court.
