From an article that discussed a new policy among medical schools in New York to force medical students to have training in performing abortions:
“Of the roughly 2,000 doctors who now perform abortions, more than half are over 50.”
Dr. Allan Rosenfield, dean of Columbia University’s School of Public Health, estimated that 15 percent of OB-GYN residents might refuse abortion instruction for reasons of conscience
The policy would allow students who opposed abortion to opt out of the training.
