Doctor Key to UW Abortion Plan Leaving for Harvard
Source: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel By: Associated Press Madison - A University of Wisconsin doctor who was central to plans to provide late-term abortions is leaving for a job at Harvard University. Caryn Dutton, an assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at UW-Madison, will join the faculty at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. She'll leave UW later this summer. Dutton performed abortions at Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin and was heavily involved in controversial plans to offer second-trimester abortions at the Madison Surgery Center. The plans were approved last year but have never been implemented amid opposition from anti-abortion protesters and some staff. UW Health spokeswoman Lisa Brunette said Dutton's departure will mean a change in who provides the service, but won't affect the plans otherwise.
