Bishop Morlino’s statement to UW Hospitals Authority Board
Editor’s note: The following is Bishop Robert C. Morlino’s statement to the University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics Authority Board meeting of Wednesday, Feb. 4, at which they were to discuss the topic of providing, along with the UW Medical Foundation and Meriter Hospital, second term abortions at the Madison Surgery Center. The statement was to be read by Msgr. Daniel Ganshert, vicar general for the Diocese of Madison, as the bishop was unable to leave the National Catholic Bioethics Center meeting in time for the meeting.
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen of the UW Hospitals and Clinics Authority Board,
Thank you for affording me the opportunity to offer a few words in regard to your discussion on whether to allow for second term abortions at the Madison Surgery Center. I am sorry that I am unable to be here in person, as I am currently concluding a meeting of the National Catholic Bioethics Center, of whose board I am chair.
