Horrific: University of Illinois Chicago Offers Monthly Stipend to Clinicians Who Complete Abortion Training

In another example of the left-wing takeover of academia, according to Campus Reform, “The University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) College of Nursing is accepting applicants for a fellowship carrying a $5,000 stipend that trains emergency department clinicians to provide so-called “reproductive healthcare,” including abortion-related procedures.”

Abortion is not healthcare or reproductive health; rather, it’s an evil act.

“The Reproductive Advocacy and Diversity in Advanced Nursing Training (RADIANT) ED fellowship combines online training and in-person simulations to teach “clinical skills to manage essential reproductive healthcare.”

This is just the latest woke evil ideology that has hijacked institutions of “higher learning.”

“Physicians and nurses working at an Illinois emergency department are eligible to secure the fellowship. The program has trained 60 Illinois clinicians and drew almost 200 “clinicians, students, academics and advocates” to its events.”

“As of 2024, Illinois’ Hospital Emergency Service Act requires emergency departments to provide abortions in cases of medical emergency.”

One has to wonder why taxpayer dollars are going to the abortion industry.

This fellowship is directly supported by Illinois taxpayers, as crazy as it sounds.

The taxpayer money directly went to Planned Parenthood to provide training in committing abortion in April 2024.

“The department’s press release cites the Supreme Court’s 2022 decision Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade, as one justification for the grant program.”

“Campus Reform contacted the UIC College of Nursing, asking how much money has been dedicated to the fellowship and how it justifies using taxpayer money for abortion-related training. ”

This program was even lauded by liberal JB Pritzker.

This whole program is a response to the Dobbs decision and is yet another immoral program funded by the taxpayers.
