Meriter Hospital to Vote on Late-Term Abortions January 28; UW Hospital on February 4

Everyone is urged to call Jim Woodward, President and CEO of Meriter Hospital, at 608-417-6000 IMMEDIATELY! Urge him to reject the late-term abortion plan for the Madison Surgery Center.

And, IMMEDIATELY sign a petition here.

We’ve learned that Meriter Hospital officials will be meeting on January 28 to vote on the late-term abortion plan proposed for the Madison Surgery Center. UW Hospital and Clinics will meet on February 4 to discuss the plan.

It is sickening to read the comments from UW officials on the “need” to dismember babies at an outpatient facility which treats patients who come to be healed. Lynn Brunette, UW Hospital spokesperson, told the Badger Herald there is a “public-health responsibility to provide such procedures as part of a comprehensive program of family planning and reproductive health care that our community deserves.”

What do patients think? Here is one patient’s comments: “This is very disturbing to my family and me. We receive all of our medical care through the UW system. The building at 1 S. Park (Madison Surgery Center) that is being proposed for this abortion mill is the one I go to regularly for my cancer follow-ups and screenings. The thought of walking into that building if it becomes an abortuary makes my skin crawl!”

Let’s not let that happen. Please take the actions above IMMEDIATELY.
