Dozens of incoming University of Michigan med students STORM OUT of pro-life doctor's keynote address during white coat initiation ceremony - and she didn't even discuss abortion

Incoming University of Michigan medical school students staged a walk-out during the pro-life keynote speaker's speech during their White Coat Ceremony.

Hundreds of students had previously petitioned to get Dr Kristin Collier, assistant professor of medicine at UMMS, removed from the initiation because of her anti-abortion stance.

But after their first protest failed, dozens of students got up from their seats and left the auditorium as Christian Dr Collier took to the stage to address them.

Footage shows some of those present clapping as Dr Collier starts her speech, but others stood and filed out as she continued to speak.

Starting her speech, Collier said that she was 'honored' to have been chosen as the speaker, ignoring the mass walkout.

She said: 'I want to acknowledge the deep wounds our community has suffered over the past several weeks. We have a great deal of work to do for healing to occur.

'And I hope that for today, for this time, we can focus on what matters most: coming together to support our newly accepted students and their families with the goal of welcoming them into one of the greatest vocations that exist on this earth.'

She has previously spoken on a 'Pro-Life' Feminism panel discussion hosted Notre Dame Office of Life & Human Dignity, an office within the McGrath Institute for Church Life in 2019.
