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.
1/9
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.
2/9
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.
3/9
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.
9/9

Sometimes pro-abortion journalists inadvertently confirm points that pro-life advocates have been making for years.

Surprisingly, @CAKitchener from the @WashingtonPost painted a stark picture of the traumatizing reality of abortion drugs.

🧵
One woman, Angel, wanted to talk to a doctor but had been given the pills without medical supervision. After taking the pills, her body was “racked by some of the worst pain she could remember.”
Another, a 15-year-old, “passed a fetus larger than she’d expected.” Unable to flush the baby down the toilet, she asked an abortion hotline operator about throwing it away.

The operator advised her “not to tell anybody.”

Tuesday, I was able to enter the Supreme Court to hear oral arguments on the FDA v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine lawsuit.

Disconcertingly, my name came up several times in the discussion.
1/🧵
I submitted two declarations detailing my experiences in ERs caring for women harmed by abortion drugs.

I was also involved in the research included in three amicus briefs, and I am an author in several peer-reviewed studies cited in the briefs.
2/
The essence of the case has been misrepresented by pro-abortion media who portray it as an attempt by pro-life advocates to take abortion access away from women who require this “essential healthcare service”.

In actuality, it is more complicated and nuanced than portrayed.

In 30 years, I’ve delivered > 5,000 babies.

The way I practice has not changed in the past year.

A new poll claims abortion limits have reduced OBGYNs’ ability to care for patients.

How @washingtonpost gets it wrong ⬇️.


1/9washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/…
First, we don’t know how the doctors surveyed were identified or whether they are representative of most OBGYNs.

It’s important to remember that ~90% of OBGYNs do not perform elective abortions.

2/9pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29174883/
Second, we know that every U.S. state with pro-life protections also has clear exceptions for the life of the mother.

No woman should fear that laws intended to protect unborn children will prevent her from receiving life-saving care.
