(WBBM NEWSRADIO)-- Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin says it has stopped scheduling abortions past June 25 in anticipation of the Supreme Court overturning Roe V. Wade two days later.

There are four abortion providers in Wisconsin.

An abortion ban, passed by the legislature in 1873, but unenforceable after Roe V. Wade decision, could go back into effect.

Jen Clark is the founder of a group called “Protect Women's Rights” in Milwaukee.

"We've been preparing for this mentally, emotionally. It's been… it's been rough," she told CBS 58 Milwaukee.

Congresswoman Gwen Moore also spoke to CBS 58 Milwaukee.

"Every ding of the phone I thought 'Oh my God, is this the notice of the SCOTUS hearing?' Every dang message."

Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin said if the abortion ban does go back into effect, it will help women find services in other states.
