"Although the course is required in the residency curriculum, ob/gyn residents do not have to participate in any abortions if they sign a paper that states they believe abortion is against their personal/religious beliefs. However, residents cannot opt of learning the theoretical applications of the program, including techniques related to still-birth, miscarriage, and complications related to abortion. Students also cannot opt out of performing ultrasounds on women intending to have abortions."
I wish people would read and digest the articles before they respond. This is nothing new. I am a nurse and when I got my first job in the late '60's, I was asked by the medical center if I was willing to assist with abortions. I wasn't and signed the appropriate form and was never asked again. Some women have something called a "missed abortion." That means you are carrying a dead fetus and it is not being expelled. In the meantime you are constantly bleeding. Someone needs to know how to remove it before a women exsanguinates. There is nothing new here. Time to move on.
If this is "nothing new" and it's "time to move on," then why has Planned Parenthood just now started the program in conjunction with the medical school?
If you read further, you will see that they admit that they are working to train abortionists.
