Today is #MaternalHealthAwarenessDay! It’s crucial that we come together for our patients and our communities. Follow along as we lift up the voices of those who best know what’s at stake when it comes to maternal and reproductive health in the United States.

Abortion is health care. When you prevent doctors from providing needed care, patients suffer. Don’t blame the doctors because the laws that you imposed have consequences. Blame the bans. #AbortionIsHealthcare
ACOG@acog

As stories continue to emerge about the pain pregnant people suffer in states with abortion bans, opponents of abortion claim that it’s doctors’ fault that some patients cannot access care they need. Our new video makes it clear: bans are to blame.

ACOG is disappointed that the continuing resolution, while keeping the government open, has cast aside opportunities to make a meaningful difference in maternal and child health. It is critical that in the new Congress, these provisions become priority legislation. 2/2

The original bipartisan funding bill had provisions that would shore up efforts to confront maternal mortality, help keep physician practices open, improve rural health education and readiness, inform prevention of stillbirth, and more. 1/2

ACOG opposes Nebraska’s Initiative 434, which would enshrine a 12-week #abortion ban. There is no room for legislative interference in essential reproductive health care decisions. However, its proponents are misrepresenting our position. We’ll make it clear: Vote no on 434.

This is heartbreaking. There are people in Georgia who are scheduled for abortions tomorrow who will have to be turned away. Their lives, health, and futures are not a game to be toyed with.
ACOG Action@ACOGAction

Today, lawmakers in Georgia will once again take reproductive autonomy out of the hands of Georgians and their trusted physicians and give it to politicians instead of patients. Revoking access to essential health care is cruel and will cost lives.

The people behind abortion bans blame doctors for the consequences of obeying the laws that they imposed. Nisha Verma, MD, FACOG, explains what it’s like to practice under a ban that prevents her from taking care of her patients to the full extent of her ability.

A judge just struck down Georgia's cruel six-week #abortion ban, which has caused suffering in the state for the last two years. For the sake of people in Georgia, we hope that the ban remains on hold so that patients can get the care they need. wsav.com/news/local-new…

If there’s anything I love more than #obgyns, it’s #obgyn residents. I had a great time talking to Connecticut residents today about the power of their voices and the icing on the cake was seeing @DrVeroPimentel! #obgyntwitter

We shouldn’t have to say this: Abortion after birth is not real. Lies that abortions occur after delivery are cruel to families in need of essential health care and dangerous to clinicians that provide care.

ACOG is relieved to see that Montana’s parental consent law, which makes a minor’s right to receive abortion care contingent upon a parent’s consent, has been struck down. Essential health care must be available to everyone who needs it, regardless of their age.

Today’s important report from @FrankPallone and @EnergyCommerce details in clear relief the ways in which abortion bans are wreaking havoc when it comes to critical medical training for the next generation of #obgyns. Read our statement: bit.ly/4doMxL7

Iowa’s six-week abortion ban fails Iowans who will need evidence-based care now and in the future. ACOG condemns any measure that robs patients of control over their own lives, bodies, and health and restricts access to necessary care.

ACOG has repeatedly argued that medical emergency exceptions don’t work. Criminalizing evidence-based care only causes harm—and data is increasingly highlighting how widespread that harm is: medpagetoday.com/special-report…

In 2021 Texas SB 8 passed, banning abortion except “when deemed necessary in medical emergencies.” Now a @JAMAPediatrics study shows that in 2021–22, infant deaths in Texas increased by 12.9%, infant mortality by 8.3%, and neonatal mortality by 5.8%. This is ideology in action.
JAMA Pediatrics@JAMAPediatrics

The Texas abortion ban in 2021 was associated with unexpected increases in infant and neonatal mortality in 2022. Findings suggest that abortion restrictions may have negative spillover effects on infant health. ja.ma/3VVrni1

In the two years since the catastrophic #Dobbs decision stripped countless people of access to abortion, the attacks have not slowed, the losses have not stopped, and the suffering has not abated. Read our statement: bit.ly/4exrxmR
