Louisville Medical School Expels Pro-Life Student

It has gotten to the point in the U.S. that you can get kicked out of Medical School for being pro-life. I am glad that I did my stint back in the age when men of iron roamed the halls of the hospitals. The story is from the Christian Post, 

A four-year medical student has filed a lawsuit against officials at the University of Louisville School of Medicine (ULSOM), accusing them of discriminating against him over his pro-life activism.

Austin Clark of Louisville filed an amended complaint last week in U.S. District Court against ULSOM President Neeli Bendapudi and 13 others after being expelled in July 2020. Clark, who formerly headed ULSOM’s Medical Students for Life group, accused the officials of harassing and eventually expelling him in retaliation for a 2018 pro-life event he hosted. The 2018 event featured Alex McFarland, a noted Christian apologist and author, speaking about the origins of life in the womb. The event was considered controversial by many students and faculty.

The complaint alleges that from the 2018 event until his 2020 expulsion, Clark was frequently harassed by professors who allegedly verbally assaulted him. The complaint also alleges that he was arbitrarily given a failing grade in internal medicine even though he claims to have earned a passing score. The lawsuit calls for Clark to be reinstated and accuses the school of violating the First and 14th Amendments. 

The University of Louisville has ties to the abortion industry, as physicians at the state’s only abortion clinic, EMW Women’s Surgical Center, are also professors at the university. "These documents suggest that the only remaining abortion clinic in Kentucky is being run as an official or quasi-official arm of the University of Louisville’s Medical School," stated the foundation's spokesman Martin Cothran at the time, as reported by WDRB. "Not only is U of L involved in the abortion clinic’s activities, but the clinic operates, for all practical purposes, as an extension of the Medical School’s program."

The university maintained that the EMW clinic and the school are separate entities, noting that programs for students and faculty simply involve training in which abortion training was optional.

I hope Mr. Clark wins his lawsuit and that the ULSOM pays a hefty fine, but what I really want is for the hard hearted baby killers teaching abortion methods to young medical students (who should be learning how to save lives) to turn to Jesus and repent of their evil ways.

Let us pray...
