La Crosse Tribune: Wisconsin abortion foes are cheering the introduction of legislation that would amend the state constitution to extend personhood to the moment an egg is fertilized, although the state’s two largest anti-abortion groups are at odds over the approach.

LifeSiteNews.com: Documents obtained in early 2010 by the Alliance Defense Fund and Pro-Life Wisconsin proved the late-term abortion scheme by the hospital was designed to supply the school with fresh fetal body parts for research.

LifeNews.com: Pro-Life Wisconsin legislative Director Matt Sande also emailed LifeNews.com in support of the measure.“In 2010, an open records request by Pro-Life Wisconsin and the Alliance Defense Fund revealed that since 2007, more than $58,000 of UWHCA funds have been used to train future abortionists at the Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin abortion facility in Madison,” he said

Pro-Life Wisconsin: “Emails obtained through an open records request, filed by the Alliance Defense Fund on behalf of Pro-Life Wisconsin, reveal that University of Wisconsin (UW) abortionist Caryn Dutton is leaving to take a position in Boston. The documents also show how the negative press surrounding the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics’ involvement in abortion was affecting its public image.”

OneNewsNow: “Alliance Defense Fund has asked Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen to determine if it is legal under Statute 20.927 (1m) for the University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics Authority (UWHCA) to pay resident physicians while they are being trained to be doctors to perform abortions at Planned Parenthood.”

Milwaukee Magazine News Buzz: “‘Our University of Wisconsin state agencies should not be a training ground for abortionists,’ says Virginia Zignego, spokeswoman for [Pro-Life Wisconsin]. It’s getting legal assistance from the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF), a national legal group that opposes abortion and gay marriage.”

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Right On Blog: “Pro-Life Wisconsin is pushing the issue, reports the Badger Herald: The group, along with its outside legal help, the public-interest law firm Alliance Defense Fund, last week wrote to Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen, requesting he look into the legality of UW’s arrangement.”

The Badger Herald: “A Wisconsin anti-abortion group is questioning the legality of using state funds to train state-employed physicians at Planned Parenthood, saying it violates state law because training involves performing abortions . . . ‘UWHCA appears to be violating the law by using [the funds of an agency of the state of Wisconsin] to pay residents for activities at Planned Parenthood that include their performance of abortions,’ Matt Bowman from the Legal Counsel of Alliance Defense Fund said in the letter to Van Hollen.”

Pro-Life Wisconsin: “On behalf of Pro-Life Wisconsin, the Alliance Defense Fund filed a formal request on Friday, April 16, with the Wisconsin Attorney General’s office. The request asks for an opinion on whether it is illegal for the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics Authority [UWHCA] to pay resident physicians while they are being trained to do abortions at Planned Parenthood in Madison . . . ”
