NEW: Last week, some OBGYNs received a strange survey via email. The email used inflammatory terms like "dismemberment" and "feticide," and the survey website suggested affiliation with the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. ACOG tells Autonomy News it sent a cease and desist:
OBGYNs Sent ‘Highly Biased’ Survey By Group That Targeted Abortion Pills
A group of anti-abortion doctors claims it’s researching the “moral and professional complexity” of abortion. Their study raises red flags following other junk science and retractions.

Hi! I specialize in medication toxicity. All available, real-world data has proven mifepristone is actually even safer than many over the counter medicines.
Mortality rates:
Mifepristone: 0.65/100,000
Penicillin 2/100K
Viagra 4/100K
Pregnancy in the US: 22/100,000 (some states see rates >60/100K)

Dr. Marty Makary said Monday that the FDA will review the pill’s safety, after Sen. Josh Hawley amplified a bogus “study” on mifepristone and RFK Jr. said he asked Makary to conduct a “complete review."

I’m sick of this regime using antisemitism to justify racist policies. This travel ban is about keeping Black and brown people out which is rooted in racism. It won’t protect Jews—it fuels resentment and puts us in more danger, leading to more violence like what happened in Boulder.

Trump framed the new restrictions, which primarily target African and Asian countries, as necessary to fortify national security and combat terrorism.

Thorough and excellent reporting by @garnethenderson.com in @autonomynews.co about the Complex Family Planning board certification process - who it excludes, and who is placed at risk by requiring candidates to travel to TX for in-person exams.
And now, doctors say the case list requirements for next year could exclude abortion providers practicing in outpatient settings—the vast majority of providers.
