A student group located on the campus of George Washington University is recruiting fellow students to be trained as abortion doulas, described<\/a> by the group as someone who “provides support to someone having an abortion” on campus.<\/p>\n

The “Abortion Support Collective” initiative was launched by student organization GW Reproductive Autonomy and Gender Equity (GW RAGE), according<\/a> to Maddy Niziolek, president of GW RAGE, whose LinkedIn page<\/a> shows she is also on staff with Catholics for Choice and Advocates for Youth as an ‘Abortion Out Loud’ organizer as well as a former intern with Planned Parenthood North Central States.<\/p>\n

The student organization has partnered with DC Doulas for Choice Collective to conduct the training.<\/p>\n

Student group GW RAGE recruits Abortion Doulas<\/p><\/div>\n

Niziolek told<\/a> The GW Hatchet that her group was hoping to recruit up to 20 applicants and that they had plans to recruit additional abortion doulas sometime in the future. The plan was, as the student paper described it, for these student abortion doulas to “fill a gap in doula care for people having abortions via the abortion pill.”<\/p>\n

Applicants, the student newspaper claimed, would become familiar “with the abortion pill process and the skills to emotionally support individuals getting an abortion that will unpack stigmas surrounding the procedure,” the paper stated.<\/p>\n

Women experiencing the abortion pill are describing horrific accounts of seeing their own aborted children floating in the toilet after taking the drugs at home.<\/p>\n

Live Action\u2019s\u00a0I Saw My Baby website<\/a> details this gruesome fallout and a newly published Live Action white paper<\/a> details the ongoing way that the abortion industry flouts safety regulations put in place by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and reveals how the abortion pill\u2019s money trail<\/a>\u00a0leads to conflicts of interest on safety claims.<\/p>\n

In addition to seeing the baby, women are reporting intense pain from taking the drug regimen which typically consists of mifepristone and misoprostol. Live Action News previously<\/a>\u00a0documented an\u00a0observational study<\/a>\u00a0conducted at two centers in Bologna, Italy, which found that 40% of women experienced severe pain when undergoing chemical (abortion pill) abortions.<\/p>\n
