As an activist, I’ve been aware for years that abortion provision training in medical education is alarmingly lacking (I’ve also been a long-time supporter of Medical Students for Choice and Nursing Students for Choice); it’s something of which I’d like to see the public and pro-choice supporters more aware.

(The Court is currently hearing the case from Hobby Lobby claiming it should have the right as a corporation to deny insurance coverage for birth control to its employees on religious freedom grounds.) I loved seeing the camaraderie between Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro-Choice America, as well as other pro-choice orgs!
