The results of an open records request by Pro-Life Wisconsin and the Alliance Defense Fund reveal that since 2007, more than $58,878 of funds of a state agency have gone to train future abortionists at Planned Parenthood.
“Medical residents from the University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics Authority [UWHCA] participate in training at the Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin (PPWI) facility in Madison, WI… UWHCA continues to pay its residents while they are in training at PPWI,” stated James Dechene, senior vice president and general counsel for UWHCA, in response to the open records request.

“Wisconsin law is very clear: No state agency can fund abortion or abortion programs,” said Peggy Hamill, state director of Pro-Life Wisconsin. “The University of Wisconsin and its Hospital are not above the law.”
Statute 20.927 of Wisconsin law states, “No funds of this state or of any… agency of this state… shall be authorized for or paid to a physician or surgeon or a hospital, clinic or other medical facility for the performance of an abortion.” Click here to view statute 20.927. Statute 20.9275 additionally prohibits spending state funds on programs that provide, encourage, or refer for abortions. Click here to view statute 20.9275.
Despite this clear state law, since 2007 over $58,878 of funds of an “agency of this state” (UWHCA) have been “paid to a physician” (medical residents) “for the performance of an abortion” (during PPWI training) in direct violation of Wis. Stat. § 20.927(1m).
Medical residents in the UW School of Medicine Ob/Gyn Department have two four-week rotations at Planned Parenthood, where they view and participate in abortions. To view the rotation schedule, click here. To view the signed contract between UW and Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin, click here.
In a November 14, 2008 email, Carl Getto, M.D., stated, “UWHC has been paying for the [Planned Parenthood] rotation to date. We will continue to do so. Please let Planned Parenthood know.” Click here to view Getto’s email. Getto is the senior vice president of medical affairs at UWHC.
“As a UW graduate, I am appalled that UW’s proud legacy of excellence in sports, music, research and nationally ranked programs is stained with the destruction of innocent human life,” said Virginia Zignego, communications director of Pro-Life Wisconsin. “UW’s blood runs red, indeed.”
