The GOP’s war on women’s reproductive rights is the story at LGF today; here’s another piece of disturbing news, as House Republicans pass a bill that will ban the use of federal funds to train health professionals in abortion-related services: Lawmakers Inject Anti-Abortion Politics into Yet Another Bill.

Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, said the amendment, offered by Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.), would bar qualified teaching health centers from using federal funds for comprehensive medical training that includes instruction in the provision of abortion services.

Keenan said the amendment is an unprecedented restriction on medical training. It would limit drastically doctors’ ability to receive comprehensive and necessary instruction in reproductive-health care, thereby putting women’s health at risk.

“Regardless of how one feels about legal abortion, reasonable lawmakers can agree that doctors should be as well trained as possible to deal with any medical situation that may arise,” Keenan said. “Women should have access to the best care possible in any and all circumstances. This amendment is yet another example of the disregard anti-choice politicians have for women’s health.”
