Pro-Life Med Student Tour Counters Schools’ Abortion Policies

Medical Students for Life of America (MedSFLA) is proud to announce the 2013 Spring Medical Students for Life Tour. The tour will travel to over 25 medical schools across the country with nine pro-life physicians who will provide medically accurate lectures on issues such as perinatal hospice, high-risk pregnancies, sex and public health, embryo adoption, medical ethics, and conscience rights.

All too often, pro-life medical students face discrimination and pressure to conform to pro-abortion policies on their campuses. While Medical Students for Choice works to force all physicians to do abortions as ‘a part of standard medical education and residency training,’ the pro-life physicians on the 2013 Spring Medical Students for Life Tour will provide a life-affirming alternative perspective that is not often heard at medical schools.

As we know, the Obama Administration has a shameful record on respecting fetal life and rights of conscience. Now, more than ever, pro-life students need the support and training to ethically promote and protect all human life as future medical professionals. This medical tour is the only one like it in the nation, reaching out directly to these targeted students to show them that they don’t have to compromise their beliefs to practice medicine. Good medicine is caring for all patients, born and preborn.

Partnering with physicians from around the country (speaker bios), MedSFLA will work with medical students to prepare them for careers as pro-life physicians. Lectures will either be live broadcast or recorded and available at med.studentsforlife.org.
