Pro-Life OB/GYNs Debunk Medical Misinformation on Abortion Post-Roe

Breccan F. Thies 31 Aug 2022

A group of nearly 7,000 medical professionals is taking on the leftist and establishment media push to spread medical misinformation about abortion after the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

The American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists (AAPLOG) is forming a network to provide factual medical information to medical professionals after a concerted effort from pro-abortion activists to obscure the truth about maternal medical care.

In a six-page list of abortion “myths,” the group cites attempts from organizations like the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American Medical Association — as well as their media proxies such as NPR, Reuters, the New York Times, and CBS — to distort the reality of maternal medical care and then debunks the distortions.

While the pro-abortion activists in the media claim that “unrestricted abortion access is necessary for providing life-saving care for pregnant women,” AAPLOG says, “Elective abortion is not lifesaving medical care,” and continues to say that doctors are capable of ending a pregnancy while respecting the life of both patients — mother and child.

Quoting the Dublin Declaration, the organization maintains, “As experienced practitioners and researchers in Obstetrics and Gynecology, we affirm that direct abortion is not medically necessary to save the life of a woman.”

“We uphold that there is a fundamental difference between abortion and necessary medical treatments that are carried out to save the life of the mother, even if such treatments results in the loss of life of her unborn child,” the declaration continues. “We confirm that the prohibition of abortion does not affect, in any way, the availability of optimal care to pregnant women.”

In other words, the deliberate killing of a child — an abortion — is not necessary to save the life of a mother going through complications from pregnancy even if the child loses their life in the process of receiving life-saving medical care. Furthermore, AAPLOG says that “OB/GYNs are trained to discern when they need to intervene to save a mother’s life” and “any competent OB/GYN physician is trained to make this determination well before the threat to the mother’s life progresses to the point where death is imminent.”

“The spreading of medical misinformation, not only by the media, but also by mainstream medical groups, is not only counterproductive for states who are trying to pass laws that will protect their citizens, but also actively endangers the healthcare of women,” AAPLOG CEO-elect Christina Francis, M.C., said in a statement. “If women have a false impression that they cannot receive life-saving medical care near them, timely diagnosis and treatment will be delayed, which will lead to worse outcomes.”

After the decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization overturned Roe, many media outlets, medical associations, and politicians peddled the lie that abortion restrictions would make receiving medical care for ectopic pregnancies and miscarriages illegal — often times declaring that “people will die.”

As AAPLOG points out, not only is medical care for miscarriages not prohibited by abortion restrictions, the glaring difference between an abortion and care for a miscarriage is that in a miscarriage, the baby has already died and therefore care is not an abortion. An abortion, on the other hand, is the deliberate killing of a baby.
