    "ACOG is aware of the reports of a draft opinion that would strike down the protections afforded by Roe and Casey. We will continue to affirm that the ability of patients to access safe, legal abortion is critical for their health and well-being.” 1/

    The Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson is a destructive setback for ob-gyns and patients. However, we’ll continue with unwavering resolve to support all people who struggle against interference with the patient–physician relationship.

    Today ACOG and the AMA were joined by more than 75 health care organizations in a statement condemning legislative interference in the patient–clinician relationship that restricts the full spectrum of care. Read the full statement: bit.ly/3uyb5xg

    Science is science & data are data. Doctors have no reason to make up #COVID19 case numbers, & in fact many have died from the virus. It’s irresponsible & dangerous to suggest doctors, incl. #obgyns, have done anything other than bravely battle this pandemic. #NoSpinJustScience

    BREAKING: @WHO quickly revised its recommendations on pregnant individuals receiving the #COVIDvaccine. ACOG continues to assert that ALL eligible pregnant individuals should be able to choose vaccination and we hope this change will give all patients added confidence. #COVID19

    Doctors such as Caitlin Bernard, MD, FACOG, who provide respectful, appropriate, patient-centered care to women, children, and people needing abortion care are being targeted and attacked. Legal intimidation and unchecked aggression against medical professionals are unacceptable.

    There is no evidence that the #COVIDvaccine can lead to loss of fertility. As experts in #reprohealth, we continue to recommend that the vaccine be available to pregnant individuals. -@acog @ReproMed @MySMFM. Help spread the word: acog.org/news/news-rele…

    "ACOG does not have guidance on 'virginity testing.' As a medical organization, ACOG releases guidance on medically indicated and valid procedures," states ACOG President @DrTedAnderson.

    ACOG is grateful for the life and legacy of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, an architect of legal protections for women and a fervent protector of a woman's constitutional right to evidence-based health care. #RBG 1/

    “A virginity exam does not exist.’” FACOG Dr. Maura Quinlan talks to @nytimes @RoniNYTimes about why so-called virginity testing is a violation of a woman's rights, and a sham procedure unsupported by medical evidence. nyti.ms/2WRBbJG

    "Pregnant individuals and those planning to become pregnant should feel confident in choosing vaccination to protect themselves, their infants, their families, and their communities." ACOG, @AmerAcadPeds, @AANP_NEWS, and more have come to a consensus: bit.ly/2XbWObX
