Any obstetrical surgeon must be able to perform a surgical abortion at the drop of a hat, for all the reasons that therapeutic abortion may be necessary.

Virtually all of them are surgical emergencies.

Anyone who writes to a Yale professor suggesting that future obstetrical surgeons not be trained in an essential procedure is an ignoramus.

I am aware that certain procedures have long been part of an OB/GYNs training; however, since this is a new program started at the behest of Planned Parenthood, there is obviously more to it.

therapeutic abortion may be necessary

These are FEW and FAR between...I cannot come up with a single reason why therapeutic abortion would be medically necessary. Could you enlighten me as to what reasons you could think?

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

[GSlob]

Completely agree. Luckily, Yale is not going to pay attention to "fan mail".

Well, yes, they are, but for some people, maternal death is trivial next to the possibility of a live birth. They'd be perfectly willing to stand aside and watch a woman die, if there was any chance at all of a live birth.

If you don't believe in abortion, don't practice it.

Jim baby, pleeeaaazzze ~ you know very well the point of the Planned Parenthood program and involvement is to encourage OB/GYNs to do more abortions.

Otherwise PP wouldn't have gotten involved in this.

They're about as transparent as you.
