AUGUSTA, Georgia, May 13, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Most abortionists are over 50 years of age, which has abortion activists worried that there will be a “shortage” if no remedial action is taken. According to a recent study, medical students who voluntarily attend an abortuary as an externship are much more likely to become abortionists themselves.
An abortion activist group, Medical Students for Choice (MSC), feels it has an answer to the shortage of young doctors willing to take up killing unborn children as their practice. MSC organized an externship program for obstetricians/gynecologists in training, supposedly found that 80 percent of participants in the program were willing to take up the practice of abortion, after observing other abortionists at work.
Study organizer, Melissa Fritsche – a third-year medical student at the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta and the president of MSC – feels that a lack of exposure of medical students to abortion training in medical school is a deciding factor in whether they will become abortionists later.
Exposing medical students to abortions and training them in the procedure “may be an effective way to address the shortage of abortion providers,” concluded Dr. David Grimes, director of Family Health International at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, according to a mewdscape.com report. Forcing medical students to participate in abortion training has long been advocated by abortion advocates.
