Abortion Opponents Are Quietly Going After One Of The Top Medical Schools In The Country

http://thinkprogress.org/health/2015/04/07/3643669/north-carolina-abortion-training/

From the article:

“It takes you a couple steps to understand that this would eliminate — or, at the very least, drastically reduce — the abortion training programs that are in place.”

I am so sick of the right wing fanatics who hate women so much that they will do everything in their power to let a woman die. I was warned about these types of tactics years ago, and it's bad enough that these idiots want to stop doctors from training to know how to perform an abortion. This will essentially, also, ban training for doctors to perform D&C procedures - which procedures save women's lives on a daily basis.

Womens' health issues are being framed by many as anti-baby expressions by selfish women trying to put their own immediate gratification ahead of innocent babies.

Conversely, when the GOP cuts programs that provide services to children, THAT real anti-baby legislation is presented as unavoidable budget tightening due to the absolute NEED to shovel more tax breaks to rich people and spend more on the war machine.

I hope you read the post about Kansas Governor Brownback and the latest abortion legislation in Kansas.

But it's not stopping because not enough people are demanding that it stop. Thus, my purpose.

Thank you for your response. We've got to get people riled up so that this shit actually DOES stop!
