The plan is not yet a done deal. At least one more board needs to vote, and maybe as many as 3 other boards (we haven't heard anything official on any vote other than the one taken tonight). We've heard that the Madison Surgery Center is scheduled to vote this Friday, February 6; but we've not seen anything in print on that to date.

I spent from 12:00 this afternoon until just after 6 p.m. at the hearing held by the Authority Board of UW Hospital and Clinics. The board was scheduled to vote today on the plan to begin doing late second trimester abortions at the jointly operated, UW-affiliated Madison Surgery Center.

Time prevents me from giving you all the details, but the bottom line is, after nearly 3 hours of testimony from people on both sides of the issue, the Board ultimately voted 11-3 to proceed with the plan. We all lose on this vote--but the babies will pay the highest price, to be sure.

MADISON: The University of Wisconsin-Madison in a new low-- even for it -- voted Wednesday evening to go forward with plans to abort babies up to 22 weeks after conception at their clinic on Park and Regent.

“This is unbelievable,” said Grothman. “No other clinic in south central Wisconsin would touch something so barbaric. Entire European countries including Germany, France, Russia, Italy, Norway and Switzerland who allow abortions in the first three months wouldn’t consider doing something so horrific as painful late-term abortions. It is amazing every other medical facility in this region takes a pass on these barbaric procedures, but the UW says ‘The Public be Damned and the Babies be Damned -- We’re Going Ahead!’”

“I am certain that February 4, 2009, will be a day in which many of Wisconsin’s citizens and alumni will never forget,” said Grothman, a UW alumnus. “I applaud the doctors and medical personnel who were brave enough to come forward to express their opposition to these offensive plans and many more need to come forward.”

“The fight of course has just begun,” noted Grothman. “We must continue to apply pressure to the UW Hospital and the UW itself since every one of the board members affiliated with the UW -- led by its Chancellor Biddy Martin -- voted for this repugnant procedure. I would like to thank the three board members who were civilized enough to vote against this plan as well as the other dozens of medical clinics in the south central area who will not do what the UW wants done to these youngsters.”
