Pro-Life Wisconsinites Speak
Group to deliver 3,500 signatures opposing late-term abortions
Thousands of Wisconsinites opposed to plans for a late-term abortion center in Madison will have their petitions delivered to Meriter Hospital today.
More than 3,500 signatures were gathered by Pro-Life Wisconsin and the Wisconsin Guilds of the Catholic Medical Association urging Meriter Hospital and UW Hospital and Clinics to halt plans to equip Madison Surgery Center to perform abortions on healthy and disabled 13 to 22 week-old preborn babies.
At a press conference today, Peggy Hamill, state director of Pro-Life Wisconsin, called on Meriter and UW not to forget their commitment to equal opportunity policies.
“Planned Parenthood’s founder, Margaret Sanger, believed that the disabled were – in her own words – ‘unfit’ and therefore to be eliminated.
“Today, Planned Parenthood continues to promote that idea by offering abortion to families who are facing a disabled child. Why should Meriter and UW help facilitate Planned Parenthood’s eugenic abortion agenda to kill babies who, like me, are disabled? Doesn’t that fly in the face of their equal opportunity policies? Shouldn’t we all have the equal opportunity to be born, to work for a UW education or receive health care at Meriter Hospital?
“I thank God that I was not exterminated because of my disability. I have albinism, but today I also stand before you as the mother of 11 children, several of whom have a degree from UW system schools and two of whom currently attend a UW system school.
“Meriter and UW need to ease the fears that parents have when they find out they may have a child with a disability. Getting into the late-term abortion business does not ease the fears of parents. Meriter Hospital and UW Hospital, please, give equal opportunity to all preborn children regardless of ability or disability.”
