Pro-Life Victory! Wisconsin Facility Abandons Late-term Abortion Plan"Ultimately, this is an answer to prayer. We give all the glory to God." (MADISON, Wisconsin)—Pro-Life Wisconsin (PLW), through the Alliance Defense Fund, announced Wednesday that they have received official confirmation from the Wisconsin Attorney General's office that the Madison Surgery Center (MSC) has abandoned its plans to perform late-term abortions. Following the decision, officials were bombarded by pro-life outrage from across the country. 2,000 pro-lifers rallied in protest only days after the decision, and in January, over 20,000 pro-lifers signed a petition delivered to officials condemning the plan. The decision also incited an advertising campaign opposing it. In January, documents obtained by Pro-Life Wisconsin and the Alliance Defense Fund via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request raised serious concerns that the late-term abortion setup was designed to supply the school's medical researchers with fresh fetal body parts for experimentation. Matt Sande, legislative director for Pro-Life Wisconsin, told LifeSiteNews.com that the turnaround was due to the co-ordinated, multi-faceted approach of the pro-life effort. After Pro-Life Wisconsin exposed the project that the center was "obviously trying to keep secret," said Sande, "that rocked them back on their heels right away, I think, from day one: they knew that the pro-life community wasn't going to tolerate a late-term abortion plan—and in downtown Madison, in their state-of-the-art surgery center." Sande mentioned that a boycott sponsored by PLW, in which several families abandoned the Madison Surgery Center and switched their insurance away from the UW Health insurance, put even more pressure on the abortion advocates. "We know from the doctors inside the facilities...that they were losing patients, and that was having an economic impact," said Sande, "that had a strong influence on their decision not to go ahead." Sande warned that "the other side is very tenacious, and this is just one battle." "I'm sure that they will continue to find, to search for a location, a physician, to accomplish this plan—and obviously we're ever-vigilant," he said. The local pro-abortion lobby reportedly urged the Center to adopt the plan after Dennis Christensen, the primary provider of late-term abortions in Madison, left the area. Nonetheless, Sande concluded that "Ultimately, this is an answer to prayer. We give all the glory to God." "This is a great pro-life victory that He has achieved," he said. "Today... this is a day of celebration. We are declaring victory over this plan."
