The American Association of ProLife Obstetricians and Gynecologists (AAPLOG) has this press release on the Christian Newswire:
In Nov 07, the (ACOG) American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology’s Ethics Committee issued a formal Opinion titled “The Limits of Conscientious Refusal In Reproductive Medicine.” This Opinion warns Ob/Gyn doctors that their practice pattern can be considered “unethical” by ACOG standards if they do not either do abortions, or refer patients desiring an abortion to an abortion provider . . .
This is a raw power play to cripple, and ultimately eliminate from practice, those doctors who hold a conscience conviction on the sanctity of human life, and refuse to have a part in doing, or referring for, the elective, deliberate taking of an unborn human life.
The American Association of ProLife Obstetricians and Gynecologists (AAPLOG) objects strenuously to this attempt, by a professional medical organization (ACOG), using “ethics violations” and “denial of recertification” as a battering ram, to force pro-life doctors into pro-choice compliance . . .
