Yale Will Teach How To Perform Your Own Abortion, Website Offers a $25 Gift Certificate To Come Up With New Yale Song

By: Pam On: Jan/25/07 -

Michelle Malkin provided the link to The Dawn Patrol who has comprehensive coverage of the Yale University celebration of Roe vs. Wade Week and a contest running on her website:

According to the Yale Daily News, the event, presumably subsidized by student activity funds, does more than just promote abortion. The organizers plan to teach attendees ” not just medical students, but anyone who shows up ” how to perform the “simple procedure”: 

On Thursday, the Yale Medical Students for Choice will host workshop on manual vacuum aspiration for medical students, using a papaya as a uterine model. Manual vacuum aspiration is a surgical abortion method that uses a syringe to remove the fetus from a woman’s uterus. Merritt Evans MED ‘09 said she thought it was important to have the workshop because the procedure can be used for a variety of different purposes ” including miscarriage management and the treatment of a failed medical abortion or ectopic pregnancy ” and is inconsistently taught in medical school.

While the workshop is targeted towards medical students, undergraduates are also invited to attend.

“The reason I wanted to include other people is that it is such a simple procedure, but the media attention around it : makes this an emotionally traumatic and a complicated thing,” Evans said. “It’s just to be like, ‘Here is what actually happens, here is what the medical procedure is like, this is what an aborted yolk sac looks like.’ It looks like a piece of cotton.”

My first thought on the workshop was the ethical/legal ramifications with regards to this aspiring doctor teaching a procedure, that is better left to a doctor to perform.  Obviously I know that the workshop is to dispel rumors and fear etc., and the woman is supposed to feel that there is no shame in going to the doctor,  but all it takes is one person to try this at home, and this young gal may not be a doctor…My second thought was this..34 years ago, womwn fought to give women an option other than at-home, coat hanger procedures, and look, all it took was 34 years for the procedure to come full circle.

Here is what Dawn’s contest is all about:

It strikes me that Yale’s traditional school songs are horribly outdated in light of the school’s new mission. A $25 Amazon gift certificate to the commenter who composes the best rewrite of one of the school’s anthems. Deadline is midnight tonight. Remember, do it for God, for country, for Yale, and for all those liberal arts students at one of the country’s finest Ivy League universities who are about to learn how to suction a live baby out of the womb.

    Ah yes, the same Yale that allows a Taliban spokesman on campus while banning the ROTC.
