An American pro-abortion group is to fund placements at British abortion centres for British medical students.

The placements, funded by Medical Students For Choice (MSFC) will last for two weeks. Anthony Ozimic of SPUC told the Guardian newspaper: "This reflects the desperation of the abortion industry to recruit enough interest among medical students.

"It's been the case for many years that there have been fewer and fewer students and doctors willing to be involved. That's partly due to an increased awareness of the unethical nature of abortion." [Guardian, 6 April]
