Es sorprendente enterarme de este caso, en un pais de tradicion liberal como los estados unidos; los gobiernos conservadores han hecho un gran daño en todos los niveles es increible que se produzcan sujetos capaces de estas acciones que no son casualidad. Afortunadamente en el Distrito Federal en México ahora es legal el aborto. Esperemos que la iglesia y los gobiernos reaccionarios no fomente el fundamentalismo fanatico que recurre al crimen y la violencia.

As one aspect of our abortion-related training, the DFSM offers a Fellowship in Family Planning/Reproductive Health. Information about this program is available at: http://www.einstein.yu.edu/dfsm/page.aspx?ID=6286. The larger issue of having physicians trained in abortion care is an important one.

One of the big barriers to increased access to abortion services is that training on abortion procedures and pre and post abortion care is not a routine part of training in family medicine. Even ob-gyn residents often have to go out of their way to develop proficiency. Does the Department of Family and Social Medicine give students the opportunity to learn to perform abortions and provide pre- and post-abortion care?
