University of Michigan Medical Students Walk Out on Pro-Life Speaker

Pro-abortion medical students staged a walkout at the University of Michigan’s white coat ceremony Sunday in order to protest the keynote speaker, who is pro-life.

In a video of the ceremony, dozens of students in white coats can be seen standing up and walking out as Dr. Kristin Collier, a clinical assistant professor at the Ann Arbor-based university, takes the podium. Other people, not clothed in white coats, can be seen leaving the ceremony as well.

The university had nominated Collier to give the keynote address to incoming medical students for their entrance to the medical field.

But prior to the ceremony, some students and alumni protested her selection with a petition. The petition, which asked the school to choose a different speaker, took aim at some tweets and interviews in which Collier made comments affirming the dignity of life.

“These comments are antithetical to the tenets of reproductive justice as restrictions on abortion affect women of color, other marginalized women, and trans people disproportionately,” the petition says.

However, the school refused to cancel Collier’s speech.

Must be a crappy medical school. These idiots think that abortion is a problem for “trans people”.

Any student who opposes saving human lives should be dismissed immediately from med school.
And the admissions committee should be fired forthwith

Then they don’t need to be in medicine.
If only we knew the names so no one who is pro-life would even consider them as their doctor.
If they want to kill babies, what stops them from ending other lives.

So the students walked out on a speaker they disagree with. No surprise. Mindless fascists do what mindless fascists do.

The really sad thing is that those fascists don’t get that their behavior is, well, fascist.

I guess the hypocratic oath doesn’t mean anything to these idiots. Forgive the spelling.

Another example of an Incubator of Socialism instead an institution of higher learning.

Our obstetrician for our fourth child shocked me when she told me she performed abortions. Her kids went to a private Christian school and I assumed she had Christian morals. She was a lovely woman but I assumed wrong regarding her stance on the unborn.

People who are anti-life are not fit to be doctors.

Not really fit for the food service industry either.

The term, "the banality of evil" comes to mind.

It was staged. Who goes to a speech just to walk out if it’s not a stunt?
