Wisconsin doctors against a proposed Madison abortion clinic are asking Meriter and UW Health to abandon their plans.
William Evans is a heart doctor opposed to allowing second trimester abortions at the Madison Surgery Center. He’s one of more than a dozen doctors who signed an open letter asking Meriter and UW Health to reject plans to do the procedure on patients 13-to-22 weeks pregnant. That letter went to policy makers along with thousands of petitions garnered by Wisconsin Right to Life, Pro Life Wisconsin and other groups. Evans expects a cool reception.
“You’re fine in Madison as long you are on right side of opinion– as soon as you step on other side then you are a fanatic, there’s a problem and you’re not worth listening to. And despite these petitions there are those who will dig in their heels,” he says. (Fourth item.)
