'If I can't perform abortions ... I will not stay in Wisconsin': Med student who seems to back full-term abortions sounds off

A student from the Medical College of Wisconsin who apparently supports full-term abortions said during a public hearing that if she can't get abortion training in the state and if she can't perform abortions in the state, then she would leave Wisconsin.

What are the details?

Madalynn Welch told Wisconsin lawmakers Monday that a proposed state ban on abortions after 14 weeks would discourage people from becoming licensed OB-GYN practitioners in Wisconsin, Fox News reported.

"I think abortion should be unrestrictive," Welch said, according to the cable news network. "And I think when somebody finds out in pregnancy when — or how far along that they are when someone finds out, they should be able to get an abortion if they want to. And for some people, that is full term."

Following her "full term" utterance, a number of people in the room appeared to express audible discomfort.

After a cut in the video, the student added that "if I can't get abortion training here, if I can't perform abortions in my career, I will not stay in Wisconsin. And a lot of my colleagues who are on the same track agree."

Fox News said Welch and the Medical College of Wisconsin did not return its request for comment.

How are folks reacting?

Quite a few social media commenters were outraged by the student's opinions on abortion:

"She just said she would abort a FULL TERM fully developed human baby. A baby that can absolutely live outside of the mothers womb. A baby deserving of life. SICK," activist Scarlett Johnson wrote. "I am ashamed for her. If that isn’t murder, what is? I pray she leaves Wisconsin and never comes back."

"She is admitting, and proud of it, that she would commit infanticide. Murder," another commenter stated. "She needs to be permanently barred from practicing medicine everywhere. Unspeakable evil."

"Spooky. Has she ever held a newborn? How can you look at a baby and think it is okay to cut its spinal cord and dismember it right before it was born?" another user asked. "Babies are a blessing. We need to stop treating them like they are a curse."

"She distills her entire medical calling to being able to murder at will," another commenter said. "Absolutely fallen world we live in."
