    .@acog stands firmly against #abortionbans. Abortion #AccessIs essential for our patient's health and these medically-unnecessary restrictions constitute political interference in the practice of medicine. #stopthebans Read our full statement: acog.org/About-ACOG/New…

    .@ACOG has long asserted that medically unjustified regulation of abortion care threatens the health and well-being of our patients rather than improving it. We urge SCOTUS to affirm that banning abortion is at odds with safe and essential health care. #DobbsvJackson

    #Mifepristone is safe. Mifepristone is effective. Mifepristone is well studied. And mifepristone must not be taken from patients in need of abortion and miscarriage care because of the biases of a small group of activists. #SCOTUS

    This week was another reminder that racism and inequity are dangerous and deadly. Systemic racism is a #publichealth and a #womenshealth issue. @acog is in solidarity with patients, their families, their communities, and our members who experience racism.

    Women disproportionately experience intimate partner violence, and the presence of firearms within those relationships is a key risk factor for intimate partner homicide. Read ACOG’s full Gun Violence and Safety Policy #Thisisourlane acog.org/-/media/Statem…

    Oklahoma’s newly passed abortion ban is a gross interference with the patient—clinician relationship. It forces personal beliefs onto others and strips women and pregnant people of their bodily autonomy. ACOG wholly condemns this egregious assault on patients and clinicians.
