Medical Students Walked Out Of Their White Coat Ceremony In Protest Of An Anti-Abortion Speaker
A university's refusal to replace an anti-abortion keynote speaker led students to storm out of their white coat ceremony.
Millions of women lost the legal right to a safe abortion when the Roe v Wade ruling was overturned by the Supreme Court on 24 June.
Many anti-abortionists have since taken the opportunity to broadcast their views,
However, on Sunday, 24 July, just moments before Dr Kristin Collier was about to begin her speech at the University of Michigan as a keynote speaker, dozens of students rose from their seats and left the auditorium in protest of her anti-abortion views which they discovered shared on her public Twitter account.
Dr Collier is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Michigan Medical School and Director of the University of Michigan Medical School Program on Health Spirituality & Religion.
Prior to the ceremony, students at the university discovered she had shared anti-abortion views during a 'Pro-Life Feminism Panel Discussion' as well as on her own Twitter account, which states: "Views my own."
A petition was subsequently started to try and prevent Dr Collier from speaking at the ceremony.
The petition, titled 'UMMS Students and Alumni Demand an Alternative White Coat Speaker', calls Dr Collier's 'multiple anti-choice posts' and comments in interviews 'antithetical to the tenets of reproductive justice as restrictions on abortion affect women of colour, other marginalised women, and trans people disproportionately'.
It detailed that a 'recent poll of incoming M1's' revealed out of 96 respondents, 91.7 percent 'indicated that they were strongly against or against having Dr Collier as the speaker'.
Out of 89 respondents, 57 percent said they were considering 'not attending the White Coat Ceremony if she were kept on as the speaker'.
