MILWAUKEE, Wis., Oct. 23, 2012 /Christian Newswire/ -- A dramatic new television ad, produced by Wisconsin Right to Life, is airing in most of Wisconsin's media markets.  The ad draws attention to the fact that the federal administration is ordering Catholic hospitals and universities to provide coverage for abortion-inducing drugs, even though abortion violates deeply held Church beliefs.

Wisconsin Right to Life Executive Director Barbara Lyons said, "To follow the administration's orders means Catholic hospitals and universities face a dilemma -- serve only Catholics and deny care to all others, defy the administration and face huge financial penalties -- or close their doors altogether.  Wisconsin Right to Life believes this is an untenable situation that the public needs to be aware of."
