Which makes her claim that this study is science so unpalatable. Why would such a smart and compassionate woman take such a stupid position? The only answer I can come up with is peer pressure. Of course thats purely speculation but there you have it.
This kind of thing is just not done by a peer-reviewed professional journal. Students and interns can be listed as co-authors of papers, but never as lead authors. Even if they do all the writing, their name appears under that of a professor or at least a licensed professional of much experience, who is assumed to have reviewed it, marked it up and endorsed it. This person's name will then appear at the top of the article. The peer review board at JAMA shouldn't have even accepted it without this "credentialing."
If this is true, then this is a serious scandal and there is simply no excuse for anything short of the editor's immediate removal. You could also argue that some heads on the review board need to roll as well.
What wonderful things has she done before meriting ecxcommunication for this act of publishing unabashed pro-abort propaganda as though it were science?
