MEDIA ADVISORY, May 28 /Standard Newswire/ -- For the past two weeks, Wisconsin Right to Life has run ads in the Wisconsin State Journal that focus on the late-term abortion plan at the Madison Surgery Center. The ads are meant to educate the public about the realities associated with late-term abortions which involve the dismemberment of fully formed babies.
This week's ad, which appears today, exposes information contained in internal emails between various UW officials that were obtained through an open records request.
Among the shocking revelations is that most of the late-term abortions will be performed simply because a woman wants one and that UW officials hope the Obama administration will give them wiggle room to decide whether employees will be forced to participate in late-term abortions.
The entire ad can be viewed here.
"The public has a right to know exactly what is at stake with the late-term abortion plan" said Barbara Lyons, Executive Director of Wisconsin Right to Life. "Tens of thousands have already signed petitions protesting the late-term abortion plan and current and prospective patients have changed their appointments and even their health care away from the Madison Surgery Center. Now we are taking the message to the public."
