Group protests UW plan to perform abortions

The Madison Surgery Center on Park Street could soon offer abortions.

The UW Hospital is proposing to allow a number of UW Gynecologists at the center to offer an uncommon procedure, 2nd tri-mester abortions, which are performed on women between 13 and 22 weeks of pregancy.

UW hospital officials say they’re proposing this because a Madison Planned Parenthood doctor who performed 2nd trimester abortions recently retired.
