No they're not...
White House spokesman Reid Cherlin said Benjamin "supports the president's position on reproductive health issues." Obama supports abortion rights and public funding of contraception and sex education.
Cherlin continued: "Like him she believes that this is an issue where it is important to try and seek common ground and come together to try and reduce the number of unintended pregnancies. As a physician, she is deeply committed to the philosophy of putting her patients' needs first when it comes to providing care."
Benjamin also was a board member of Physicians for Human Rights, an international group that has advocated access to safe abortions in its investigation of human rights conditions in some countries.
During the conference, on Dec. 10, 1996 the AMA discussed whether they should recommend training doctors in how to perform abortions. The organization urged doctors to learn "more than just the ethics of it," according to a report by the Associated Press. The report quoted Benjamin, who was then a delegate to the AMA, as saying, "We are adopting a policy that medical school curriculum provide the legal, ethical, and psychological principles associated with abortion so students can learn all the factors involved."
So this person is pro-abortion! Great find—thanks.
I was in a hospital cafe yesterday, and it looked like a Doc was being interviewed. All of sudden the interviewer said “we don’t do abortions here” I looked around and smiled.
