A coalition of doctors has launched the Women’s Health Declaration.
A coalition of doctors has launched a petition calling for medical professionals, leaders, associations and agencies across the political spectrum to unite in promoting a life-affirming “program of dignified health care for women” as debates over abortion misinformation continue to intensify around the United States.
Christina Francis, the CEO of the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists (AAPLOG), announced the Women’s Health Declaration at a press conference on Oct. 22 in Washington, D.C., stating: “Women and their preborn children deserve the best health care possible, and they deserve accurate information about their health care as well as the laws that impact that care. All of us can agree on that.”
The declaration seeks to address two particular concerns — the increased use of chemical abortion drugs following the FDA’s controversial move to deregulate those drugs, and the spread of misinformation about crisis pregnancies among health-care professionals and their patients.
In its call to action, the text urges legislators to enact laws that protect women from the risks posed
