Ever doctor who practices obstetrics needs to say they engage in “abortion related activities” because

A) that is medically accurate and

B) they will then not be able to exclude everyone

Kennedy Rescinds Endorsements for Some Flu Vaccines

When the media covers opinions from RFKJr, it will be equally important to cover vaccination guidance from professional organizations like the American College of Ob/Gyn & Academy of Pediatrics.

When they release their guidelines, it should be front page.

Untreated depression is often far more dangerous in pregnancy than risks of SSRIs…including from both maternal and fetal perspectives.

Sadly, the FDA is no longer a reliable source of medical expertise

The Department of Education exists as a matter of law.

The law has not changed

So either we still have to have a Department of Education

Or we cannot really say that we still have laws.

Last week saw the Texas floods & signage of HR1

Both are tragic

Both will result in tremendous loss of life

Only, unlike the floods, the millions of people about to lose health insurance will be entirely manmade, will rest entirely upon those who voted for the bill.

As a high risk obstetrician, I know that patients with complicated pregnancies reply on Medicaid. With our already tragically poor maternal and infant outcomes, we cannot afford more cuts. Tell Congress to vote no on HR 1: #ObGynsInAction #MedicaidMatters #HandsOffMedicaid @acog.org

As an ob-gyn, I see how vital Medicaid is for the women and families I care for. HR 1 threatens the care they rely on. My patients and their families can’t afford these cuts. Let’s raise our voices and speak out for Medicaid. #ObGynsInAction #MedicaidMatters #HandsOffMedicaid

Ohio’s new HB33 requires a 24 hour waiting periods before abortion…why?

A 24 hour law already exists here, but under indefinite injunction as a violation of our 2023 amendment.

A redundant law would not change the basic calculus

It’s anti-democracy theater.

ACOG-Ohio’s opposition letter regarding the current state budget proposal.

As a Pittsburgh native profoundly embarrassed that the Steelers hired Aaron Rogers. Vaccine disinformation kills people.

I’ll be painfully sitting this season out. Not for long as I’m sure he’ll crash and burn, but until then I’ll be patiently counting down the days until he is gone.

Ohio has obstetric deserts that need services, including fetal ultrasound.

Instead the current budget is wasting $2.5 mil on 3D ultrasound machines that will be used for non-medical purposes by non-professionals for cute pictures that discourage abortion.

This could have been actual medical care
