We are asking for your help! The threats to the medical community have only heightened since the overturning of Roe, and medical students are particularly vulnerable. We do a lot at AAPLOG to encourage and defend them, including offering scholarships every year to our Matthew Bulfin Educational Conference (MBEC). Help us reach our goal of sending 100 medical students and residents to MBEC 2025 by giving today at buff.ly/45LAghe. Thank You!

About us
As members of AAPLOG, we affirm: 1) That we, as physicians, are responsible for the care and well being of both our pregnant woman patient and her unborn child. 2) That the unborn child is a human being from the time of fertilization. 3) That elective disruption/abortion of human life at any time from fertilization onward constitutes the willful destruction of an innocent human being, and that this procedure will have no place in our practice of the healing arts. 4) That we are committed to educate abortion-vulnerable patients, the general public, pregnancy center counselors, and our medical colleagues regarding the medical and psychological complications associated with induced abortion, as evidenced in the scientific literature. 5) That we are deeply concerned about the profound, adverse effects that elective abortion imposes, not just on the women, but also on the entire involved family, and on our society at large.

The same outdated hypothesis that was used decades ago to deny infants' ability to feel pain is now being used by abortion advocates to deny preborn children's capacity for pain. Science has demonstrated that the brain does not need to be fully developed for an individual to experience pain. Many of the areas of the brain involved in the perception of pain are developed by 12 weeks' gestation. As early as 14-15 weeks' gestation, it is now standard practice to treat fetuses for pain during fetal surgery because they respond to skin-breaking procedures with the same changes in behavior, stress hormones, and metabolism as adults.

Physicians in pro-life states may feel some uncertainty about what their state abortion law says exactly. They're not legal experts, after all. But the fact is, not a single state law in the country prevents them from offering excellent reproductive healthcare to pregnant women. Medical professionals deserve to have the right guidance from their medical professional organizations, hospital administration, and others to confidently provide the care that their patients need. "Unfortunately, organizations such as the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) have done little to help doctors understand how they should be caring for patients under new life-affirming laws, despite the fact that ACOG’s very mission is to produce “practice guidelines for health care professionals and educational materials for patients.” The Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM), a group of doctors specializing in high-risk care, has likewise held back from offering any clarification or guidance to its members. In fact, SMFM members have contributed to the rampant misinformation asserting that OBGYNs can no longer treat pregnant women whose lives are at risk." - AAPLOG Board Member and Board-Certified OB-GYN Dr. Susan Bane, MD, PhD Read the full op-ed: https://buff.ly/3zrGkj5

Life-affirming physicians are committed to offering excellent healthcare equally to both pregnant women and their preborn children. Tragically, when treating life-threatening pregnancy complications, it will sometimes be necessary for the physician to separate mom from baby, even if the child is too young to survive outside the womb. However, the physician will never waver in his or her commitment to respecting the dignity of both patients. Our practice guidelines on concluding pregnancy state that, for a life-affirming physician, "It is acceptable to deliver a patient before the gestational age at which the fetus could survive outside the womb only if the mother’s life or health is in danger, which is proportional to the danger the fetus/neonate will face at birth. To be clear, this means the mother is facing death or immediate irreversible bodily harm which cannot be mitigated in any other way, including ectopic pregnancy and critical maternal illness."

This month, let's take a minute to raise awareness and improve our understanding of orofacial clefts -- cleft lip and cleft palate. Each year, about 2,600 babies in the U.S. are born with a cleft palate and 4,400 with cleft lip. These conditions can cause impairment in these babies' ability to feed, language development, and hearing, as well as ear infections and problems with their teeth. While there is no surefire way for pregnant women to prevent cleft lip or palate in their preborn child, they can reduce risk by making healthy lifestyle choices, taking folic acid, and being aware of side effects of medication before & during pregnancy.
