At issue was the keynote speaker: Dr. Kristin Collier, a Michigan faculty member and primary care physician who has spoken publicly about her Christian beliefs and anti-abortion views.
In an interview with NPR, Scorpio, who attended the ceremony to support a friend in the incoming medical student class, estimated that roughly 70 of the 170 incoming students walked out, followed by some friends and family"in solidarity.""The overall message that the students wanted to push was that reproductive rights, abortion, is health care," Scorpio said.
The university remains"committed to providing high quality, safe reproductive care for patients, across all their reproductive health needs," including abortion care, the statement said. published last month, Collier said that she had been raised in a non-religious household and had come to Christianity – and her current anti-abortion views – as an adult, after finishing medical school and becoming a physician.
"An anti-choice speaker as a representative of the University of Michigan undermines the University's position on abortion and supports the non-universal, theology-rooted platform to restrict abortion access," the petition's authors wrote.
