UW Hospital to End Late Term Abortions

This is very exciting news! We are happy to have played a small part in this victory a couple of years ago when we did a letter writing campaign to put pressure on UW officials. Thanks to the ADF and other organizations and individuals who helped achieve this victory!

The University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics officially confirmed Tuesday that it has abandoned its plans to provide full-service, second-trimester abortion services in a jointly operated facility or in any other facility it controls. In May, the Alliance Defense Fund obtained a letter from the Wisconsin Department of Justice stating that the University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics had stopped pursuing the plan, but UWHC then made public comments that indicated they weren’t fully giving up at that time, despite public pressure brought to bear by ADF and its allies.“Christians and other pro-life medical students and staff shouldn’t be forced to compromise their beliefs to maintain their professions,” said ADF Legal Counsel Matt Bowman. “The UWHC and other medical facilities involved made the right decision to terminate this covert program, which threatened to require pro-life employees to participate, against their conscience, in the killing of preborn, developed babies. In addition, the program was in danger of violating state law, which prohibits state agencies from paying for abortions.”
