AAPLOG Press Release: Support for Protection of Discriminated People Groups
The American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists* (AAPLOG), representing 3000 physician members and associates across the United States, strongly supports laws banning the destruction of our patients in the womb. It is deplorable that the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) has, by its blind support of elective abortion for any reason or for no reason, chosen to ignore the scientific and professional responsibility of obstetricians to advocate for the life of their second patient, the unborn child. It is especially important for obstetricians to advocate for the lives of their unborn patients who could survive outside of the mother’s womb. Given the right care, babies who are currently aborted by being dismembered in the late second trimester could have survived outside of their mother. To dismember these children is not medical care, but sanitized genocide against the most defenseless of all people groups: the unborn children. It is unthinkable that any obstetrician would ever allow for, much less advocate for, the ripping apart of their patients while alive. It is even more unconscionable that a medical professional organization would advocate for the destruction of their own patients. Yet, the recent ACOG press release http://www.acog.org/
