Dear Webmaster220,
On Monday of this week, AAPLOG Chairman of the Board Dr. Christina Francis had an op-ed published in Newsweek, reviewing the impact on the health of women and children of The Women's Health Protection Act of 2021, as well as addressing the upcoming Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization Supreme Court Case.
An excerpt from the piece can be found here:
"The problem with the Women's Health Protection Act, however, is that women's health is the last thing it has in mind.
As a practicing OB/GYN with more than a decade of experience in the field, I have helped thousands of women through the difficult stages of pregnancy. Together with many of these women, I have witnessed the miracle of life. But I have also witnessed the heartbreak that comes from losing a child before term. When this occurs for women with prior abortions, many have told me the same thing: "I wish I had known."
What my patients are referring to are the complications that arise in later pregnancies as a result of abortions. The majority of abortions that take place in the U.S. are surgical, with medication abortions increasing in frequency—and it's an injustice that many women undergo these procedures without knowing the long-term costs to their own health and the health of their future children."
