(1/5) Abortion industry advocates continually disregard the true impact of abortion on maternal mortality, as evidenced by Thursday's House Oversight hearing. Time and again, we have pointed to the need for better data collection to help protect our patients.
(2/5) Our @AAPLOG #CommitteeOpinion on #maternalmortality extensively outlines why maternal mortality data is so incomplete and how we could improve it: aaplog.org/wp-content/upl…
(3/5) Abortionists would rather pretend the problem doesn't exist than improve the data. Abortion providers deal with less than half of their patient's abortion complications, yet tout their complication rates as evidence for the safety of abortion: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33939340/
(4/5) Peer reviewed research outlines how US data compares with that of other countries, with Finland's thorough data collection on all causes of maternal mortality showing the risk of death from abortion being almost 4x greater than childbirth: journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117…
(5/5) As physicians who care deeply for our patients, we call for honest and rigorous data collection on ALL causes of maternal mortality, including from #abortions. Preventing maternal mortality, and better understanding its causes, should be a priority for all physicians.
