After careful deliberation, ACOG has made an organization-wide decision to stop accepting federal funding for all ACOG programs and activities for current contracts.  Recent changes in federal funding laws and regulations significantly impact ACOG’s program goals, policy positions, and ability to provide timely and evidence-based guidance and recommendations for care.  

 

We remain fully committed to this critical work and will allocate our own resources to continue it in a way that is centered on patient needs and grounded in evidence. As we develop the details of this path forward, we will share more information with our valued members and partners.  

 

ACOG is proud of the work we’ve done in partnership with the federal government over the years and intends to continue to improve public health outcomes through our work going forward.  We will continue to engage with the federal government through member advocacy, by providing comments to rulemaking, and ensuring that the voice of ob-gyns is heard by decisionmakers. And we will evaluate opportunities to partner with the government in the future where our program goals align. 

 

We remain committed to reducing preventable maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity within the United States, to ensuring the quality and safety of patient care that will improve population health outcomes, to increasing access to preventive care, and more.  We look forward to building on our successful work to date by shaping future programs that advance health for all.

Scoop: The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists will no longer accept federal funding, citing changes in funding laws and regulations under the Trump admin. This will have knock-on effects, including on programs meant to improve maternal health. Statement to TPM:

The thing about the Epstein disgustingness that strikes me hardest is that hundreds of rich old men raped underage girls and the only person currently in jail for that vile behavior is a woman.

And no, they do not cause autism.

As a CIA officer and Pentagon official by training, I believe that the single, greatest security threat to the United States is the shrinking middle class here at home.

Today, I laid out my Economic War Plan.

🚨 Iranian media reported the evacuation of staff and removal of enriched uranium from the bunkers took place prior to US strikes, consistent with the heads up the US gave Iran.
Is the plan for Israeli special forces to seize the enriched uranium in a ground operation?

Absolutely outstanding article on the link between EBV infection and long-term health problems.

The concept of infection with a pathogen causing not only acute illness but also being a risk factor for chronic illness in the future is not controversial. This is why I avoid SARS-CoV-2.

Covid killed more people in the US than all US battle and non-combat related deaths in all of the US wars put together.

People want to forget, but we should be memorializing these losses as well.

Trump has kidnapped and disappeared more than 50 people who came to America LEGALLY and sent them to a torture prison in El Salvador.
