….Global Health Newswire reports a new study from the University of California San Francisco, a hub of pro-abortion researchers, predicts that almost half of all abortion training programs for OB-GYNs could be gone if the court allows states to ban abortions again.
“Decimating abortion training in half the country will have far-reaching impacts,” said senior author Jody Steinauer, of the university’s Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health. “It could affect the care of future patients of clinicians who trained in these states wherever they go on to practice.”
The study, published in April in the journal Obstetrics and Gynecology, found that about 44 percent of the 6,007 medical student residents training to be OB-GYNs are working in states that likely will ban abortions. They found that almost half of the 286 OB-GYN residency programs are located in these states, according to the report.
“In 2020, 92% of obstetrics and gynecology residents reported having access to some level of abortion training,” the study states. “We predict that, if Roe v. Wade is overturned, this would plummet to at most 56%.”
Estimates vary, but researchers predict as many as 26 states would protect unborn babies by banning abortions if the Supreme Court overturns Roe. Currently, the court prohibits states from protecting unborn babies from abortion prior to viability, about 23 weeks of pregnancy. Nearly 1 million unborn babies are aborted every year in elective abortions….
The above comes from an April 29 story on LifeNews.com.
Never mind that a minority of students opt for that training in the first place. It would concentrate those students that wanted to do abortions to those programs that did train in abortion. More insincerity and false alarm from the abortion industry. They still be able to train as many doctors that will accept the mission to kill.
Abortion training in medical schools should be strictly illegal
I don’t know if the UC study is correct, and there are good reasons to think it might not be, but if it is, it would be a disaster for women’s health. Many women would die needlessly during pregnancy and childbirth, especially in rural areas.
You make no sense. I can tell which party you vote for.
I don’t vote for parties. I vote for candidates.
Candidates in which party?
None of your business.
There are pro aborts in both parties, but the Democratic party platform is pro abortion and anti traditional family. Republicans who back such things are called Rhinos.
As Horton the Elephant said, “Elephants are faithful 100%.”
You vote for the party that’s going apoplectic because an unethical Democrat law clerk for one of the Democrat justices leaked a draft ruling that the Court has sanely, correctly and rationally voted to overturn Roe and Casey.
Would not have been possible without Trump. Thank God for Trump.
Please provide evidence for your accusation Mr Trump
By the way, abortions are dangerous too. The uterus can be injured, and the woman bleed to death, and abortions contributes to breast and other cancers later in life. My maternal grandmother had seven children, breast fed them all including her own grandson, and never got any type of female cancer. My mother-in-law had eleven and the same. That was not the case for some of their daughters and granddaughters. They bottle fed, and at least one had an abortion when it was illegal, but by a “reputable” doctor, or so she said. Better up-to-date Natural Family Planning when married.
I am not saying that all women should have a lot of children. There are natural family planning methods and kits that can tell a woman’s fertile times for those who should not have too many children for serious reasons. All I am saying is that I have known and know about many women who had many children, were not rich, but lived well into their seventies through nineties and had mostly healthy lives because they lived the natural way, whereas I have known many women whose lives were shorten by using unnatural birth control or lack of chastity. The same for men.
For married woman who need to avoid pregnancies for serious reason there are natural family planning methods and kits that tell a woman’s fertile times. Be healthy. Live naturally and chaste. Men too.
Good doctors are trained to try to save both the mother AND the child. The Church allows for certain procedures when the life of the mother is in immediate danger, such as an ectopic pregnancy where both the mother and child will die if the tube is not taken out. Some doctors can now save both in these situations. Some abortionists in the U.S. have admitted that they never had a situation where the mother could not be saved by taking the infant by caesarian before dangerous conditions become serious for the woman. More physicians need to be trained to save both instead of aborting.
