Indiana University (IU) is making changes to its OB\/GYN medical program, due to the state’s laws protecting preborn children from abortion. Some people involved with the program are bemoaning the fact that future doctors in the program will no longer be trained in-state to kill preborn children.<\/p>\n

Students in the program will reportedly no longer receive abortion training on campus, and instead will travel out of state twice a week, for five weeks, to learn how to commit abortions.<\/p>\n

\u201dIt\u2019s a recruitment nightmare,\u201d said<\/a> former resident Dr. Beatrice Soderholm, who added that she believes the state’s abortion laws will result in fewer students pursuing a degree in the school. \u201dThat\u2019s going to play into more of a recruitment aspect, even getting people to come here for training let alone, stay, choosing to stay for permanent practice.”<\/p>\n

Dr. Nicole Scott, the director of IU School of Medicine\u2019s residency program, told Fox 59<\/a> she agreed. \u201cMay we be less attractive to those medical students looking at residency? Yes, because they can\u2019t get the training that they need,” she said, adding that the inconvenience of sending students elsewhere so they can learn how to commit abortions is a “logistics nightmare.”<\/p>\n

Despite these warnings, OB\/GYNs do not “need” induced abortion training to be successful at caring for women and preborn babies.<\/p>\n

Abortions are brutal procedures<\/a> in which a preborn child is starved, suctioned, torn apart, or poisoned. A doctor does not need<\/em> to learn the methods for killing a child in order to have a successful practice. If a mother’s life is at risk, early delivery may be necessary, which does not intentionally kill<\/em> (abort) the preborn child even though the child may be born too soon to survive. Abortion is the intentional homicide of an undelivered human being.<\/p>\n
