Donations Needed

Dear ProLife Colleague, This is not a “dues” letter—that goes out in September. This is a “donations needed” letter. (as you know, we do not cry “wolf!” We ask for help when we need help). AAPLOG’s role and usefulness is expanding. From the start, we have stood for the Sanctity of Human Life” from fertilization onward, the doctor’s right to practice Hippocratic medicine (i.e., conscience rights), and the mandate to treat both pregnant women and their unborn babies with the respect due to them. As more and more medical information became available on the adverse health effects of induced abortion, including future mental, physical, and reproductive health effects,, we have sought to educate physicians, patients, and the general public about this medical evidence of potential harm done. In the past two years, we have become an international influence for prolife doctors, (we are building a Spanish edition of our website), as the frenzy for total abortion access spreads (thanks to UN and NGO and even US governmental influence) to developing and developed nations. In January this year, we hosted, in Washington DC, the second annual AAPLOG Research,/Strategy/CME conference. It was very valuable. For details of topics and talks,, see https://www.aaplog.org/aaplog-january-educational-meeting/ The meeting cost us $40,000, as we had a number of international guests/speakers to bring in, as well as normal expenses of running such a meeting. That amount is over half of our annual budget. In order to sustain the remainder of our normal year’s program (consisting of a booth/educational presence at about 8 national meetings (apgo/creog, acog’s acm, acoog, cmda, wimd, Catholic Med Assn, GMHC, Carenet, etc) we need your financial backing. Any amount is appreciated. The easiest way to give by credit card is at our website. Go to www.aaplog.org and click on “donations” on the top menu bar. This is a secure site. Fill in the info, and hit the “give now” button. Within 10 seconds, you will receive by email your tax deductable receipt. (We are a tax-exempt 501c3 organization.) If you prefer to donate by check, make the check out to AAPLOG, and send to 339 River Ave, Holland, MI 49423. You tax deductable receipt will be mailed to you. (Or, you can write us your CC information—but it is a lot easier and more secure to use the web site for credit card donations.) In the USA, the governmental pressures on ProLife doctors to compromise their standards and their conscience continues to increase. We need your financial help so that we can stand up for you. Dr. Joe DeCook Executive Director, AAPLOG
