"The citizens of Wisconsin have many reasons to be proud of the UW system with its top-notch academic programs and great sports teams.  But something else is going on within the UW system that the public is likely unaware of ...and it's deplorable!" said Susan Armacost, Legislative Director of Wisconsin Right to Life.

Medical residents, under the auspices of the UW Hospitals and Clinics Authority Board, participate in rotations at Planned Parenthood's Madison abortion site which is called the Comprehensive Reproductive Health Center, located at 3706 Orin Road.  While at the Planned Parenthood abortion site, medical residents observe and perform abortions.  According to the document entitled Resident Learning Objectives prepared by the UW School of Medicine and Public Health - Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology "Residents opting to perform abortions will demonstrate initial procedural skill with manual vacuum aspiration, electric suction aspiration (D&C) ...."

Armacost commented, "In other words, if a medical resident is able to manually or electronically rip apart the body of an unborn baby, UW views that resident as showing the required  'procedural skill.'"

"What is really sick is that a UW medical resident can suction away a baby's life during a rotation at Planned Parenthood in the morning and then deliver a baby later that day at a rotation at Meriter Hospital.   The UW doctors supervising the resident will view both events as equally 'successful."  After all, the objective in the first instance was a dead baby and the objective in the second instance was to place a newly born infant in the arms of an ecstatic mother.  What's the difference when 'demonstrating procedural skill' is the benchmark for UW medical residents?"

"UW medical students are being taught that life has value only when it is 'wanted.'   Detroying a life - bringing a new life into the world - it's all the same at UW.   As long as procedural skill is demonstrated, of course."
