ACOG’s “Conscience” Statement on Refusing Care Due to Religious Beliefs
December 17, 2007
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has released a statement on “conscientious refusal in reproductive medicine,” intended to guide providers and spurred on by incidents of contraception, abortion, and fertility treatment refusals. Naturally, anti-choice groups (many of whom are *not* professional medical organizations) have written ACOG a letter asking that it be withdrawn. Find out more, with links to the statement and response documents, in my post at Our Bodies Our Blog.

It’s about time ACOG came out with a statement like this. Now if the AMA would do the same.
