Grab a bucket and read what Dawn Patrol discovered during a recent trip to Yale:
Meanwhile, on the other side of New Haven, student groups at Yale were gearing up for Roe vs. Wade Week. 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."
Did I miss something there?
