CNN Health is promoting the false claim that, because of pro-life laws, medical students have to turn to extreme means to learn how to carry out “lifesaving” medical procedures, adding that abortion training has been “severely limited” in pro-life states. It’s an inaccurate claim that’s been added to the barrage of misinformation spread by news outlets in the post-Roe environment.
CNN tagged along to a hotel conference room in Philadephia to observe a training session in which medical students were taught how to carry out manual vacuum aspiration (MVA) procedures using papayas. The MVA procedure can be used in the early weeks of pregnancy for several things: to treat a miscarriage, to take a sample of the uterine lining for testing, and also for elective abortions.
CNN Producer Alexandra King said 18 students, who all appeared to be female, were participating in the training and had flown in from pro-life states.
Hands-on training myths
The students complained to CNN that they aren’t receiving “hands-on” abortion training at their medical schools; Complex Family Planning Specialist Dr. Alhambra Frarey claimed medical students are being cheated, and women are put in danger because of this. “People may need an abortion because they’re facing a life-threatening pregnancy complication,” she claimed. “If you don’t know how to do it under routine circumstances, you certainly don’t know how to do it when somebody’s life is on the line.”
However, not every medical school provides hands-on training in medical procedures. The first two years usually involve preclinical training in which potential future doctors learn about basic medical concepts, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC). It isn’t typically until they move on to the clinical portion of training in the last two years of their medical education that they begin clinical rotations, where they receive hands-on experience in medical care.

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
