Yale 'Roe vs. Wade Week' teaches non-medical students how to make a baby go (Whiffen)poof
Good morning! I'm exhausted after taking two trains and a cab back from New Haven, so I'll leave it to Stephen of For God, for Country, and for Yale to offer details (and, I hope, photos) of my Theology on Tap talk. I can tell you that it was the best experience I've had yet at a speaking engagement. I know I'm in the right kind of bar event when I walk in and see a sign on the bannister of the staircase that reads, "Confession" — and next to it a priest in flowing white Dominican garb. (Yes, he did hear confessions after my talk as well as before — though I didn't get a chance to make one myself.) The location, in the back room of the Playwright pub, was stunning — a plank-by-plank recreation of an Irish church — and there were about 100 people there.
Meanwhile, on the other side of New Haven, student groups at Yale were gearing up for Roe vs. Wade Week. According to the Yale Daily News, the event, presumably subsidized by student activity funds, does more than just promote abortion. The organizers plan to teach attendees — not just medical students, but anyone who shows up — how to perform the "simple procedure":
On Thursday, the Yale Medical Students for Choice will host workshop on manual vacuum aspiration for medical students, using a papaya as a uterine model. Manual vacuum aspiration is a surgical abortion method that uses a syringe to remove the fetus from a woman’s uterus. Merritt Evans MED ’09 said she thought it was important to have the workshop because the procedure can be used for a variety of different purposes — including miscarriage management and the treatment of a failed medical abortion or ectopic pregnancy — and is inconsistently taught in medical school.It strikes me that Yale's traditional school songs are horribly outdated in light of the school's new mission. A $25 Amazon gift certificate to the commenter who composes the best rewrite of one of the school's anthems. Deadline is midnight tonight. Remember, do it for God, for country, for Yale, and for all those liberal arts students at one of the country's finest Ivy League universities who are about to learn how to suction a live baby out of the womb.
While the workshop is targeted towards medical students, undergraduates are also invited to attend.
“The reason I wanted to include other people is that it is such a simple procedure, but the media attention around it … makes this an emotionally traumatic and a complicated thing,” Evans said. “It’s just to be like, ‘Here is what actually happens, here is what the medical procedure is like, this is what an aborted yolk sac looks like.’ It looks like a piece of cotton.”
Murder 101. I'm glad I missed that one.
there aren't words.
How convenient! Now Yale students can kill there own bbies at home. What's could possibly be next?
I don't suppose the school offers a life alternative to the "pro-choice" side of Roe v. Wad?
Your tag had me LOL.
Isn't one of the hysterical claims about Roe v. Wade that it keeps women from having non-medical people do abortions?
I sent this to Laura Ingraham. I think she is a Yale grad. I wonder what she'll have to say about this???
Hard to imagine.
criminal
I would think her head would make a 360 degree rotation or two at least...she's ardently pro-life.
Oh! Is that it?!? Well, then, I guess I can stop mourning the miscarriage I had almost a year ago - I thought it was actually a living HUMAN BEING I had growing inside of me...but it just looks like a piece of cotton! Silly, silly me!!!
(Please tell me the sarcasm is obvious. I'm so irritated right now I could scream!)
Lion cubs, too?
Wow, these people are seriously deluded. Can someone actually think the pain involved in this is the result of media attention? Very serious psychological defense mechanisms at work, IMO.
Pro-life ping!

Please FReepmail me if you would like to be added to, or removed from, the Pro-Life/Pro-Baby ping list...
Thanks for the ping!
Why shouldn't they train non-medical students to commit infanticide? They want to kill the baby and they really don't seem to care if they kill the mother except that they will lose repeat business, so I can't see why proper medical training is even a consideration for the culture of death.
