Wisconsin Right to Life Invited to Appear Before UW Health Board

A mammoth battle is taking place over whether the Madison Surgery Center should begin performing late-term abortions. Madison Surgery Center is an outpatient clinic operated jointly by UW Hospital and Clinics, Meriter Hospital, and the UW Medical Foundation.

Yesterday, Wisconsin Right to Life presented 9,000 petition signatures to officials at Meriter Hospital following a news conference. Other groups joined in this effort which amounted to over 21,000 petition signatures presented. And, petition signers continue to pour in. You can sign a petition here.

Read the Wisconsin State Journal story about the news conference.

Wisconsin Right to Life has been invited to appear before the UW Hospital and Clinics Authority Board on Wednesday, February 4 to express our opinion about the proposed plan. The board is allowing one hour for public input. We are looking for medical professionals who use any of the sponsoring health organizations and patients who receive care there. Please contact us at 877-855-5007 if you are one of these individuals or know of someone. We need your help to shut this plan down.
