Political Quotes

“The Accrediting Council for Graduate Medical Education standards were developed by professional medical educators in the field of obstetrics and gynecology. The standards were developed with great sensitivity to the differing moral and ethical views about abortion and after substantial consultation with medical societies, program directors, and obstetrics and gynecology and other individuals and organizations. So that is the standard that is embodied in this compromise legislation. If individuals who are participating in medical training programs want to get training for abortion, they will be allowed to do so. If an institution wants to provide it, they will be allowed to do so, just like it is under current circumstances. We, also, preserve the accreditation standards of the one group in America that sets those standards, rather than running the risk of what has been established in the House of Representatives that says that Federal funds can go to any institution in America that is unaccredited if those standards mention abortion.”
