Stacey Blyth, a medical student at the State University of New York at Buffalo and a member of Medical Students for Choice:
“The medical community seems to have collectively chosen to ignore the medical imperative of safe, legal access to abortion. The issue is somehow avoided as a “private” or “moral” subject. …it is not unusual to complete four years of medical school without even having to discuss abortion, let alone to perform or observe a procedure. Even discussions about its medical necessity are avoided. “

Medical Students for Choice may have changed some of this the past 16 years, but there is still evidence that many doctors do not get the abortion training that would make them qualified to be abortionists. See here.
