What if their mom had an abortion. Then they would not be here to walk. Most stayed!😄😄😀
Those that walked out expressed their disagreement with the university. They should have their acceptance revoked so they can find a career that more aligns with their ideals.
Those students should have their acceptance revoked.
Not happy with this at all. Medicine is all about accepting people from a broad range of backgrounds and listening to their opinions and showing empathy. Her speech had nothing to do with her views, and it's always good to consider beliefs that may challenge your own. This is just disrespectful, particularly since her speech had zero relevance to abortion.
What about when they're in the clinic and they meet someone with vastly different views to them. Perhaps their patient voted for a different political candidate. Are they just going to walk out there too? This culture of intolerance is toxic…
Well none of my docs will be from U of M
Grow up you weak students who can’t tolerate opposing views. She wasn’t even there to talk about her personal views. You are what is strong with this country.
Hoes mad?
Where there is life there is hope. That was the medical code.
The left are so tolerant and inclusive. Paaah.
Another example of the unwillingness of the spoiled liberals unable to even listen to the other side. Very sad.
Hope they all fail out
Female speaker: Anti Abortion is the correct way of life
White coat Students: Ok we don’t care bye bye.
Goodluck getting a job lol
And the medical community wonders why the public's view of the profession has PLUMMETED in recent years… let this group of ignorant, spoiled little brats who cannot tolerate a dissenting view on any topic serve as exhibit A. Take control of your own health and avoid medical "care" from political ideologues disguised as physicians.
I wonder if these students will walk out on caring for patients with different views? 🤔
Abortion is murder and sin , we don’t care what u think 🙏🌎❤️
The Republican party scare Christian into pushing their agenda. I love Christian, but they are kinda dumb
Good on them. ProLife is pure ignorance and religion oppression.
🥰❣️We're PRO SAVING WOMEN'S LIFE WITH NECESSARY HEALTHY ABORTIONS ❣️🥰
She is not an " anti abortion speaker ". The White Coat Ceremony has nothing to do with abortion, and Dr. Collier's speech had nothing to do with abortion. Fox 2 Detroit, you suck as journalists.
If life is divisive , GET OUT of medical school!!
Those med students that walked out, should face consequences. I would never want any of them to be my doctor. Intolerance has no place in the practice of medicine and these student's actions display a trait no one should want in their physician.
I will give no deadly medicine to any one if asked, nor suggest any such counsel; and in like manner I will not give to a woman a pessary to produce abortion. With purity and with holiness I will pass my life and practice my Art.
-THE OATH OF HIPPOCRATES –
Salute to those students…
👱🙅♂
And these are our future “medical leaders.” Ouch.
OK sane people, I know you're busy but hear me out…….
REMEMBER, NOVEMBER MIDTERMS ARE COMING. Your vote could make all the difference, talk with your friends and family and encourage them to vote.
HOLD YOUR LOCAL AND STATE REPRESENTATIVES TO ACCOUNT. Find out where each candidate stands on the key issues that matter to you, not what you're told you should care about by media hacks, (here's a hint, gay teachers or trans women aren't after your kids and there's a big difference between gun control and banning guns🙄).
"MY PARTY NO MATTER WHAT,"…… NO LONGER WORKS.
THEY CAN ONLY GET AWAY WITH CRAP LIKE THIS IF YOUR SILENCE GIVES THEM CONSENT.
MAKE SURE YOU'RE REGISTERED AND MAKE SURE YOU VOTE. It's literally life and death now.
Remember why you're voting. FRIGHTENED AND TRAUMATIZED LITTLE 10 YEAR OLD GIRLS, ELEMENTARY SCHOOL KIDS AND ANYONE WHO BUYS GROCERIES WILL THANK YOU……Rant over have a good one.
bravo to those students who walked out
1:40
No one cares about anyones faith or opinion… its a personal choice based on an individual personal beliefs.
They should have got an anti-abortion trans person so no one would dare walkout 🖕🏿👍
So the University of Michigan believes in baby murder??? Shut that school down that gets subsidies from TAX PAYERS. So this is what the Democrats are teaching now??? Dictator Gretchen Whitmer this is on you!!!
They don’t believe in “do no harm”?
Woow amazing, th his is beyond stupid, 8 to 10 years squeezing your brain, sacrifice, hard work and learning g for what? KILLING INNOCENT LITTLE DEFENSELESS HUMANS.
Med students take an oath during that ceremony "Do no harm". This speaker has done tremendous harm. They were 100% right to walk out on their colleague.
From one doctor to another, I applaud your actions. Here’s the deal: I am not for abortion for myself. What I am for is access to contraception and family planning.I will stand by my patient who is raped, trapped in a violent marriage, facing a nonviable fetus. a serious risk to their health, incest and a plethora of other situations that “pro-life” activists have never found themselves. Pregnant people should have the bodily autonomy to decide for themselves the outcome of their lives. There are so many unintended consequences of anti-abortion laws. I am seeing more and more medicines labeled as not recommended for women of childbearing age. Will now not treat for diabetes and hypertension? Will we see the life expectancy of women decline? And what about taking women out of the work force? There will be an exacerbation of labor shortages, decline of GDP, greater demand for welfare, worsening of childhood poverty, strain on schools, and eventual worsening of crime rates There will also be further strains on multigenerational households. Who will care for the elderly?
They aren't woke college students anymore. Be professional
