I’m a board-certified OB-GYN currently practicing in Texas. I have been practicing for over 30 years and I have delivered over 5,000 babies.

Allow me to shed some light on the harmful lies coming from the pro-abortion lobby.

After Texas enacted its pro-life law, the quality medical care I provide did not change nor has the law prevented me from caring for my patients.

This is true even in cases of pregnancy emergencies.

Since the Dobbs decision, I have cared for many women suffering from ruptured ectopic pregnancies. I have performed surgeries to treat incomplete miscarriages and failed drug-induced abortions.

I have intervened when a pregnancy complication threatened a mother’s life, even when I anticipated that sadly, the unborn child would not survive the action required to protect his mother.
4/9

Under every pro-life law, including in Texas, physicians can intervene to save women’s lives in pregnancy emergencies.
5/9

In fact, according to a recent Texas Health and Human Services Commission report, physicians reported 116 abortions for medical emergencies and physical health between July 2022 and May 2024.
6/9

The pro-abortion lobby is trying to scare women into thinking they can’t be treated during a pregnancy emergency.

The pro-abortion @acog also refuses to provide any guidance or support for doctors who are confused about these laws.
7/9

This combination is deadly, and we’ve unfortunately seen women harmed as a result.

Their stories are devastating. These women are victims of a pro-abortion movement that cares more about promoting unlimited, all-trimester abortion over their safety.
8/9

I am proud to care for my patients, both moms and their babies.

What we need now more than ever are facts, not fearmongering, so that we can continue to serve our patients with the medical care they deserve.
