Med students aren't required to learn how to perform abortions, and many are opting not to, but I believe that all gynecologists are required to learn this and many other surgical procedures (though I'm not up on my medical board requirements these days ;-) I suppose I could always ask The Little Woman's OB/GYN when we see her next.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11014765.post-1151595239826113962006-06-29T20:33:00.000+05:002006-06-29T20:33:00.000+05:00I'm glad that there are people out there like you ...I'm glad that there are people out there like you who are willing to stand up for our right to choose.

According to the latest information (The New York Times) doctors who perform abortions are seen as the low-life trailer trash of doctors these days. Medical students have so many required courses, most are opting out of optional abortion lectures.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I don't normally refer to abortion providers as fetus killers. I was just being cheeky.maarmiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07208449053550101175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11014765.post-1151581065276884822006-06-29T16:37:00.000+05:002006-06-29T16:37:00.000+05:00Yes, I am aware that not all gynecologists provide...Yes, I am aware that not all gynecologists provide abortions. However, my understanding is that gynecology includes a lot of surgical training, and that abortion is one of the standard procedures that is learned. I also understand that it is precisely because of the actions of Operation Rescue and others of that ilk that many gynecologists choose not to provide abortions.<BR/><BR/>While I think that abortion is the second-worst form of birth control (infanticide is #1), I also think that it is a necessary skill for gynecologists to learn, and a necessary service to provide. Not all abortions are done for reasons of birth control.<BR/><BR/>You're the first pro-choicer I've met who calls gynecologists "fetus-killers." Very interesting. Then again, anti-choicers usually use the term "baby-killer."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11014765.post-1151565845446392532006-06-29T12:24:00.000+05:002006-06-29T12:24:00.000+05:00Save America now from creepy violent anti-choicers...Save America now from creepy violent anti-choicers.palinodehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01029915232895358768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11014765.post-1151522304083442742006-06-29T00:18:00.000+05:002006-06-29T00:18:00.000+05:00How about if I use the word murderer?

When I had my abortion, I think there were only three doctors in all of Tallahassee who would do it. Tis a very specialized procedure.maarmiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07208449053550101175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11014765.post-1151520344097872962006-06-28T23:45:00.000+05:002006-06-28T23:45:00.000+05:00"Abortion doctor" is a term usually used by the an..."Abortion doctor" is a term usually used by the anti-choice crowd. May I suggest you use the term that abortion providers themselves use? As I'm sure you know, it's "gynecologist."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
