Despite the fact that the abortion industry opposes requiring a pre-abortion ultrasound, and they push dangerous self-managed<\/a> or “home use” abortions, an unearthed training video<\/a> published by Innovating Education in Reproductive Health and taught by a staffer at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF)\u00a0states<\/a> that using ultrasound to determine gestational age, even in the first trimester – especially for training scenarios – can mitigate the possibility of complications. To hear first trimester abortions discussed by the media or the abortion industry’s PR machine, you’d never know it had any risks at all.<\/p>\n

But videos from UCSF\u2019s\u00a0Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health<\/a>, which prides itself on abortion as a focus and\u00a0claims<\/a>\u00a0that their work has \u201cled to new methods of abortion and expanded the abortion care workforce,” tell a different story. Bixby\u00a0trains abortion providers though its\u00a0Ryan Residency Training Program.<\/a><\/p>\n

Narrated by Dr. Jennifer Kerns, the video “Managing complications of procedural abortion, part 1: In the first trimester,” describes<\/a> several potential serious complications from first trimester abortions:<\/p>\n
