The United State’s most prominent association of gynecologists and obstetricians announced its full support for abortion-on-demand.
“Abortion is health care,” says the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG).
“It’s a medical procedure that is essential for the health and well-being of women across the country. Targeting and restricting any medical procedures in this way is simply bad medicine,” the group claimed.
The organization also opposes abortion safety legislation that requires abortionists to hold hospital privileges and laws that require abortion clinics to meet the same safety and health standards as other outpatient surgical facilities.
“[D]ecisions about reproductive health, including abortion care, are best made by a woman in honest, open, truthful consultation with the people she trusts, including her obstetrician-gynecologist – not a politician,” ACOG continues. “Abortion is safe and legal – and it is safe because it is legal.”
