You also cannot keep up your skills if you are doing them infrequently. This is a very real thing in surgical procedures, and you cannot maintain your hospital credentialling to perform surgical procedures if you aren't able to do a certain number every year. [/quote]

Many weren't trained in the first place.

[i]One 2013 survey found that out of 161 physician residency programs across the United States, [b]only half provided abortion training as part of their standard curriculum[/b]. (Some programs have “opt-in” option outside of the routine training.)

[i]In states that restrict abortion, some OB-GYN residents have to rely on textbooks in lieu of observing an abortion firsthand or simulate the procedure using a piece of fruit.

“You can tell who has done it and who has learned it from a book,” one residency director said in the report. “There is a gap in how they’d manage patients.”

Lappen said [b]residents who don’t receive sufficient training might not develop expertise about how to manage situations like miscarriages or ectopic pregnancies or may lack the skills to quickly intervene in life-threatening emergencies when an abortion is medically necessary. [/b]

“[b]Abortion care can be the fastest way to save someone’s life[/b], and the easiest way to save someone’s life” in certain cases, he said. “That skill set is really, incredibly important and there are parts of the country where it currently is in significant shortage or may not exist.”[/i]

[i]Many medical residency programs that are educating the next generation of obstetricians and gynecologists are facing a treacherous choice.

If they continue to provide abortion training in states where the procedure is now outlawed, they could be prosecuted. If they don’t offer it, [b]they risk losing their accreditation, which in turn would render their residents ineligible to receive specialty board certification[/b] and imperil recruitment of faculty and medical students.

This training also involves learning how to do D&Cs.  So keep that in mind next time you or someone you know needs a D&C due to incomplete miscarriage, abnormal uterine bleeding, or any other of a number of reasons a D&C might be warranted. 
If doctors aren't receiving proper training on these procedures, they also can't care for women who need them for reasons outside of an elective abortion, either.[/quote]

Should young women plan to have their babies and raise their families in pro choice states?  The care and outcomes  will be increasingly superior in pro choice states.[/quote]
