Yesterday, ACOG District II Legislative Chair, @drflink.bsky.social, was invited to speak to the NYS Bipartisan Pro-Choice Legislative Caucus. She spoke about ways to ensure continued and expanded abortion access in New York.

With 2026 activities already underway, we wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the many District II successes in 2025. We look forward to the opportunities to empower our members in the coming year.

ACOG is deeply disappointed by HHS’s move to drop COVID-19 vaccine recommendations in pregnancy. The science is clear: COVID-19 remains dangerous in pregnancy and vaccination protects both patients and newborns. The vaccine is safe and protects families. Read our full statement: buff.ly/OGue7sO

The expertise of HHS staff is critical to the health and safety of every person in the U.S. Their work ensures access to care, powers lifesaving research, and safeguards public health. The termination of thousands of employees is a devastating blow to our health care infrastructure. buff.ly/UNxD4RT

Thank you Governor Hochul for hosting a lovely Women’s History Month reception. We deeply appreciate you raising the importance of protecting reproductive health care access in New York State in your remarks. 👏

We are so proud of our NYS ob-gyns who attended the #clc2025 in Washington, D.C.! They advocated for polices that improve the lives of all people seeking obstetric and gynecologic care, their families, and communities. Great work #TurningPurposeIntoPolicy! @acog-org.bsky.social

TY @senatorleawebb.bsky.social for convening a hearing on maternal health in NYS. Dr. Ashanda Saint Jean testified that maternal mortality prevention requires commitment of a broad community of partners, highlighting the Safe Motherhood Initiative and her experience working in rural communities.

@acogd2.bsky.social Legislative Chair, Dr. Rachel Flink-Bochacki, attended a bill signing for legislation that allows prescribers of medication abortion pills to use their hospital or practice name instead of their own to protect their privacy.
