Abstract

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) is the default professional organization for obstetricians and gynecologists in the United States. Unfortunately, ACOG's policy and treatment of abortion is more radical than a large section of the country's obstetricians and gynecologists. ACOG has functionally ceased to represent this section of physicians, as its voice no longer speaks in unison with theirs. Worse still, ACOG has actively opposed obstetricians and gynecologists who do not agree with their radical policy, or who advocate for individual rights to choose not to refer for abortion. This document describes ACOG's abortion policy and outlines the events that led to non-representation.

委员会意见11:在美国妇产科医师学会中没有反堕胎的妇产科医师代表。

美国妇产科医师学会(ACOG)是美国妇产科医师默认的专业组织。不幸的是，ACOG对堕胎的政策和治疗比国内大部分妇产科医生都要激进。ACOG在功能上已经不再代表这部分医生，因为它的声音不再与他们的声音一致。更糟糕的是，ACOG积极反对那些不同意他们激进政策的妇产科医生，或者那些主张个人选择不堕胎的权利的医生。本文件描述了ACOG的堕胎政策，并概述了导致无代表的事件。
