Yale School of Medicine Requires Abortion Training for Ob/gyn Residents
LifeSiteNews ^ | 8/23/06 | Peter J. Smith

NEW HAVEN, Connecticut, August 23, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Ob/gyn residents at Yale’s School of Medicine must undergo training in abortion procedures in a required residency program established by Planned Parenthood’s Connecticut branch (PPC).

Second year ob/gyn residents will have to complete two four-week rotations with PPC for training in abortion techniques such as vacuum suction, medical abortions, and other “family planning” services in a program entitled Family Planning/Ambulatory Surgery.

"Yale is very satisfied with the experience and training the residents are receiving at PPC and are especially happy with the number of patients the residents see," said Mary Bawza, chief operating officer of PPC to Planned Parenthood’s Choice! magazine.

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.
 
PPC established the course last year as part a frantic campaign to replace the imploding and aging population of abortionists, whose numbers have declined 37% since the 1980s. Although worried about their population decline, PPC seems oddly determined to spread their abortion practices deeper into the heartland of the United States claiming studies indicate 87% of US counties and 97% of rural counties have no abortionists.

Comments to Yale may be sent to Chairman of the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences and the department’s Residency Program Coordinator:

No, it is not a euphemism..........you are intentionally putting things into this that are not there, as are many on this thread.

Reread my words, and then reread your words - 2 entirely different things.

There are ways to remove live babies in the case of emergencies....OBs are trained extensively in that.

That is what I'm talking about --- you are talking about something entirely different.......and something I was NOT talking about.

I was not talking about "something entirely different"..I'm the one who wrote the sentence that you say you agree with.

I've made one point all night..the one that you italicized in your last post. Glad we are on the same page...at least I think we are.

Moreover, laparoscopy and electrocautery are not listed by ANY of the abortion providers, medical and health, hospital, clinic, or University websites listed under Google: abortion methods); that is to say, they are not listed as abortion methods at all. Rather, they are classified as legitimate medical techniques to treat a diseased fallopian tube in the case of ectopic pregnancy.

What a perfectly asinine thing to write. No one has even come close to saying such a thing.

You haven't been around here long. Do I smell something? Viking kitties needed perhaps?

You are the one that said these residents are being trained to kill babies - I didn't say any such thing and did not get that from the post you were responding to.

You claimed I used a euphemism for an abhorent procedure when I did no such thing.

We may be on the same page, but you have a funny way of expressing it.

Well, I don't believe in lying, thievery, adultery, murder, and I choose to practice none of those, so does this make me human slime, too?

>Years ago, some hospitals sacrificed the mother to save the Baby! That is absurd.

You won't convince this bunch. Some nice couple can adopt the newly orphaned baby. O HAPPY DAY.

here is a thought, training does not necessarily mean actually performing the abortion.

Perhaps the training can include TRAINING the doctors why abortions are obectionable.

After all, education should be complete...

>Do I smell something?

The pomposity of people who think they know God's mind and will.

Funny, when the Islamic loons make their pronouncements it's crystal clear, but the willingness of some so-called conservatives to intrude upon the PRIVATE lives of PRIVATE citizens amazes me. I remember when conservatism was about the rights of individuals as opposed to the HERD. That's why I became a conservative 40+ years ago.

It also goes in your permanent file.

Why is it that conservative objections must "be recoreded in a permanent file" but the left wing hedonistic position is a-ok peachy keen.

I honestly think this entire thing has been blown totally out of proportion.

From what I understand, a D&C can be an abortion procedure or can be a medical procedure (seems fairly common in women nearing menopause). There may be many problems that can befall pregnant women which may truly make surgical abortion necessary. I want my doctor to be well versed in any procedure which may become necessary in an emergency.

Yes, but Planned Parenthood is publically funded.

There are surgical emergencies, but in no way does killing the baby first help the mother medically. The baby can be surgically removed live.

Exactly. Show me a situation where a c-section can't be performed instead of chopping a living baby up while it's inside its mother's womb.

Is that what's passing for "logic" at DU these days? You make no sense.
