Group Rallies Against UW’s Plan To Perform Abortions
Protesters came out Thursday morning to voice their opposition against the University of Wisconsin and Meriter Hospital after they announced plans this week to perform late-term abortions.
The rally, organized by Madison’s Vigil For Life, gathered protesters in front of the Madison Surgery Center. The protesters’ goal was to convince UW officials not to go through with these plans, which were made public on Tuesday.
Steve Karlen, co-director of Madison’s Vigil For Life, said that the university’s plans were kept secret until this week.
