Non-physicians performing abortions in California? You better believe it!!!


California State Senator, Sam Aanastad says “Regents of the University of California have been conducting an experiment on women" by allowing Planned Parenthood to train non-physicians to perform abortions." Under the guise of “access to primary care,” the Regents of the University of California have been conducting an experiment on women in Concord, Los Angeles and San Diego.


The project director, an attorney, apparently believes that the underserved populations of California -- overwhelmingly Latino and African-American -- would benefit from even higher rates of abortion: “It will create providers in underserved areas that need them the most… and integrate abortion services into previously existing health care networks.”


The taxpayers of California also foot the bill through the grant approval process and oversight provided by the state’s Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development. Professional license fees paid by doctors and nurses to the Board of Registered Nursing, the Medical Board of California and the American College of OB/Gyns also fund project review and site visits. And the ultimate goal of the project couldn’t be clearer: “Disseminate our abortion training and utilization model to other faculties and states interested in expanding the pool of primary care abortion providers.”
