SACRAMENTO, Calif., Sept. 4, 2012 /Christian Newswire/ -- The California Senate voted last week to pass a bill allowing non-physicians to perform aspiration abortions. Senate Bill 623, introduced by Christine Kehoe (D-San Diego), extends a program run by the University of California, San Francisco, in which nurse practitioners, midwives and physicians assistants are trained to perform abortions.
"This bill was originally created to regulate boat paint," said Dana Cody, Executive Director of the Life Legal Defense Foundation. "Now it's regulating and destroying human lives."
Ms. Kehoe claimed that the bill was necessary to fill gaps in the availability of abortion caused by the shortage of doctors in parts of the state. The bill went through three attempts before passage. Ms. Kehoe "gutted and amended" the bill after its introduction, which raised some protest from other members of the Senate. This spring, a Senate committee rejected an attempt to pass a broader bill allowing non-physicians to perform abortions. In the end, a narrower version of the bill was passed. Rather than opening abortion to non-physicians generally, the bill focuses on extending a U.C. San Francisco program training physicians assistants and others to perform first trimester abortions.

There are too many stories lately where I have to check the byline to make sure they’re not satire, and they’re not.
Makes perfect sense. Why would you need to be a doctor just to commit murder?
Have we now come full circle? Isn’t that how it was before abortions became legal, everywhere? (And wasn’t that a big part of the argument for making them legal?)
disgusting
It is definitely not a “medical procedure”
Under Obamacare, you won’t need to be a doctor to practice medicine of any type.
They’re getting us ready for it.
OMGosh, you are soooo right.
Many people who would have made fine doctors were not asked about their aspirations before having all professional and other opportunities attendant to life taken from them.
Are they allowed to set up shop in back-alleys?
OMG, how awful, where’s the coat hanger. Wasn’t this “their” reason for passing “Roe versus Wade”.

Oops sorry for all the reports.
Good. Let them line up quacks for their quackery. But really, shouldn’t lawyers be performing abortions in California? Much more up their alleys. Back alleys, anyway.
I’m not surprised. While the modern medical schools have changed the content of the Hippocratic Oath, the original included: “I swear by Apollo the physician . . . I will do no harm or injustice . . . I will not give a lethal drug to anyone if I am asked, nor will I advise such a plan; and similarly I will not give a woman a pessary to cause an abortion.” Considering the popularity of euthanasia and abortion with the far left, I’m not surprised that they want non-doctors performing their sacraments. Too many real physicians believe in the old Oath for liberal convenience.
Well, we let non-Natural Born citizens practice at being president.
