OMAHA, Nebraska, July 19, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Billionaire investing mogul Warren Buffett has been secretly backing a campaign to combat the decrease in doctors who are training as abortionists and to bring abortion into the mainstream of medicine, revealed the New York Times this week.
In her NYT magazine cover story, journalist Emily Bazelon describes how abortion “rights” activists are working to “recast doctors, changing them from a weak link of abortion to a strong one.”
The piece, entitled “The New Abortion Providers,” claims that abortionists and the pro-abort lobby are trying to dispel the image of the “greedy, butchering ‘abortionist’.” “The bold idea at the heart of this effort is to integrate abortion so that it’s a seamless part of health care for women — embraced rather than shunned,” writes Bazelon.
The strategy, she says, aims at moving abortuaries away from stand-alone facilities into hospitals and encourages family physicians to offer abortions within their practices.
She describes two training programs for abortionists that are central to this strategy. The first, called the “Family Planning Fellowship,” is a two-year post-residency program designed to further equip doctors for providing abortions and contraception. She says this fellowship is now being offered at 21 university campuses. The second is called the Kenneth J. Ryan Residency Training Program, which aims to supply medical schools with funds to train ob/gyn residents in providing abortions. So far, this program has funded 58 campuses in the U.S. and Canada.
Both programs are run out of the University of California at San Francisco, and both are directed by Uta Landy, the former director of the National Abortion Federation. Bazelon spoke with Jody Steinauer, the associate director of the Fellowship program, but she said that Landy declines all interviews out of fear that publicity would scare off potential universities, or their lone donor.
“The money for the Ryan and the Family Planning Fellowship comes from one foundation and from one family,” writes Bazelon. “The donor has chosen to remain anonymous, which helps to explain why there’s been so little publicity about the pro-choice strategy of bringing abortion into academic medicine. It has been covered by a veil of semisecrecy.”
But as the two training programs have grown, this anonymous donor has become more widely known, she says. “In the course of my reporting, two doctors who had not done the fellowship themselves, but who work in universities, volunteered to me that the money for the programs comes from the Buffett Foundation,” she wrote.
According to Bazelon, the Buffett Foundation’s tax records reveal that most of its spending is allocated to “abortion and contraception advocacy and research.” The Foundation has given tens of millions to Planned Parenthood and Ipas, as well as millions to other pro-abortion groups like Catholics for Choice. Buffett has pledged to give away 99% of his estimated $47 billion assets, with most of it going to the Gates Foundation, which is infamous for its avowed emphasis on population control.
Despite Buffett’s and the rest of the pro-abortion movement’s efforts to bring abortion into the mainstream of medicine, however, pro-life leaders insist that abortionists are by nature at the bottom rung of medicine, where debauched doctors end up when they are too incompetent for any other area.
“No one goes to medical school with the intent of working in a Planned Parenthood or some other abortion clinic,” said Mark Crutcher, President of Life Dynamics Inc., last month, after an Ottawa abortionist was disciplined for his incompetence in treating 25 of his clients. “The wash-outs from the leftovers of medicine wind up working in these abortion clinics.”

So he made a deal with the devil and that’s why he’s so rich.
I wonder if Bill Gates made such a deal too?
The devil keeps his part of the bargain, but in the end, he always wins.
Sad that many babies have to die though.
“The bold idea at the heart of this effort is to integrate abortion so that it’s a seamless part of health care for women”
Yes, and this is an international effort too. The goal is that NO ONE can question abortion on demand for any reason.
Feminists in other countries aren’t buying it however (they sent H Clinto to the woodshed in Egypt and they haven’t let up).
I’m not even convinced it is about population control ... at least not control of the numbers of people. I think it’s cultural imperialism for some other nebulous purpose yet to be unveiled.
He apparently sees this as a business venture. That is as evil as it gets.
There's got to be a hot spot in hell for people like this.
Molech must be soooo happy.
He will never understand what it is like to carry a living being inside you. being pregnant is the closest that I have ever felt to God ( maybe that is why Libs are for abortion).
This is evil, but there is no evidence that he sees it as a business venture: he does not profit from it in any way.
That will never happen. Doctors in other fields will alway view them as bottom feeders and patients will avoid “Dr Deaths”
I’ve personally always thought that abortionists and people who support them will have a special punishment in hell. They will feel exactly what a child feels over and over for all of eternity since they loved it so much.....
I am starting to wonder about this myself. The book “The Franklin Cover-up” gives good background on possibilities. The events documented in the book centered around nationalizing banks, which we can now see in hindsight, have lead to the collapse of US financial institutions.
I kind of had the same idea.
That would be justice; relive forever what you inflicted on someone else.
Let’s hope that Warren Buffett doesn’t serve as an usher in his church.
Bill Gates’ dad was a huge figure in Planned Parenthood in the Northwest.
I think you’re right, he made a deal with the devil. Of course, Mr. Buffett is very old, and the devil will soon take him to his atrocious kingdom, for ever.
I seriously can’t believe I’m reading this. Sick, sick, sick.
It’s about MONEY, pure and simple. Murder usually is.
What of the small % of women who need medical abortions?
Name one! I think your post is full of lying lies.
