"Although ACOG's long-standing abortion policy supported safe, legal, evidence-based abortion care, the current reproductive health crisis calls for revisions which make it unmistakably clear that ACOG trusts doctors and patients," said the group.The leading professional association of obstetricians and gynecologists on Monday responded to"the anticipated upending of 50 years of well-settled law" regarding abortion care by the U.S.
"We don't believe that elected politicians... can or should be in the exam room weighing those factors or in a position of substituted judgment for our members and their patients." The policy was updated as reproductive rights advocates are bracing for an expected ruling by the Supreme Court overturning, the landmark 1973 decision which affirmed that women in the U.S. have the constitutional right to obtain abortion care.earlier this month showed that the court's right-wing majority had already voted earlier this month to overturn the ruling.
Along with its updated policy, ACOG on Monday published an article explaining its decision to unequivocally fight right-wing attacks on abortion rights, noting that lawmakers and commentators who support forced pregnancy have"misrepresented and unscientifically redefined" medical terms like"viability" in an effort to strictly limit when a patient can obtain an abortion.
