Obama Surgeon General Pick Regina Benjamin Wanted Docs to Learn Abortions

Washington, DC -- President Barack Obama named Alabama physician Regina Benjamin as the next Surgeon General of the United States. Benjamin is an African-American doctor who is known for rebuilding her medical clinic after it was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and then ravaged by fire in 2006.

However, Benjamin has also urged that future physicians be trained to learn how to perform abortions.

Dr. Benjamin is perplexing ...

[muawiyah]

What about eating their enemies' raw livers? Does she agree doctors need to be taught that?

Just how primitive and barbaric can these Democrats go ~ can't be much further.

Another Minority Pick??

[EagleUSA]

Obama continues to pick every misfit he can to pander to his radical, far-left fringe supporters.

[ex-snook]

Maybe if supporters marry gays and the straights have abortions they will self-destruct.

I remember the good old days when surgeons general just worried about whether kids were learning how to masturbate properly.

Remember, it's not real wanking unless it is government approved and regulated wanking.

[subterfuge]

Maybe doctors should be trained in torture techniques too?

I’d need to know more. I tend to believe even pro-life OB/GYNs should know how to perform the extremely rare “truly life-saving” abortion, i.e., where the continuation of the pregnancy is likely to kill the mother and there is no other option. But again, those are extremely rare.

The natural inference is that the nominee wanted docs to learn abortions for the sake of routine “birth control.”

Another Minority Pick??

Yup. It's affirmative action picks right down from the highest office in the land.

[pogo101]

At last an endeavor in which government has some expertise!

Not that a typical teenager probably doesn’t fare just fine without, um, instruction.

[Lizavetta]

Another Minority Pick??

What else is there?

[rightly_dividing]

I posted a good word for her on another thread earlier. If she is in support of abortion, then I am not in support of her. Not that my support is one that would make a differance anyway.

As they say, "one uh oh erases all your atta boys"

Joycelyn II??

I remember the good old days when surgeons general just worried about whether kids were learning how to masturbate properly

Today the govt worries not just if kids are masturbating enough, and masturbating properly, but also if doctors are trained in doing emergency abortions -- in planes, trains, automobiles, airports, bus stations, stadiums,..

Any Doctor that performs an abortion except to protect the Mother’s life has gone against his hippocratic oath and should have his license taken away. That being said, I’m sure that this quack from Alabama will urge Dr’s to perform euthanasia on ANYONE with ANY affliction that will not be of future benefit to BO’s Marxist regime.

[Nachum]

The list, ping

[Arguendo]

More likely, they’ll discover a way to test whether the baby is likely to turn out gay before birth. It will be the end of either abortion or gays.

[Da Coyote]

The Obamaloon checklist.

Make a list ordered by talent.

Start going down the list...and down....and down.....and down.

Ah! Here’s a leftie.

Pick ‘em and clean up their viva so that they appear to have a brain.

[KarlInOhio]

Or just outlaw the test under penalty of life in jail for the mother, the doctor and the owners of the company which made the test.
