Abortion for *lethal* fetal anomalies is now *illegal* in Ohio

I’m a high-risk obstetrician here. I diagnose birth defects

So some point soon I may look someone in the eyes & say that they, against their will, will carry to term, undergo delivery & then have their child die

@JenAshleyWright 🙋🏼‍♀️ Can I raise my hand ANY higher?

[ACOG Action @ACOGAction]

Texas #SB8 represents a clear attack on the practice of medicine in our country and on decades of established legal precedent. Read and share our joint statement from @ACOG and @MeAndMyOBG: https://t.co/XyhR2rRlN3

I would like to gift every Texas lawmaker a NICU baby, peripartum cardiomyopathy, reduce their income to $20k per year, take away their car, put them in an abusive relationship, with a mental health disorder, while trying to pursue higher education.

Abortions save lives.

@cityofStCharles Have they started yet?

[Lauren Carlos @PGHMFM]

@McDonalds would you please stop asking if we want a “girl” toy or a “boy” toy with our happy meal? My daughters like Star Wars more than Princesses and that shouldn’t be a gendered thing.

[Lauren Carlos @PGHMFM]

While yes, this is also important... some of you only take care of men and it shows. Moms leave AMA all the time. #medtwitter #obgyn #MothersDay2021

What if our go to move in medicine was to uplift our colleagues, rather than criticize?

Losing my mind @boardobgyn !!!! Upload my result!!!

This is not working out. She still got rescheduled to a different site! Really?!?! @PearsonVUE you don’t have 30 mins to accomodate a #breastfeeding #workingmom #MedTwitter @boardobgyn unacceptable @ChrisHanMFM

@PGHMFM Hi Lauren, thank you for your tweet. Please send me a DM with your details (candidate ID, full name, and registered email address) and I will look into this for you. Thank you. https://t.co/VwfrE5MURX

@ChrisHanMFM @boardobgyn @PearsonVUE Thanks @ChrisHanMFM it’s for a friend, and she actually did that step and thats when she was told her center didn’t accommodate and she would have to drive much further away to a site that did accommodate. It is not at all easy or painless. 😔

[Lauren Carlos @PGHMFM]

Take subspecialy boards postpartum. It’ll be fine right? @boardobgyn and @PearsonVUE why can’t an OB/GYN (a women’s health provider!) take her exam at the site closest to her and still take 30 Mins to pump? Why can’t all your sites accomodate #BreastfeedingMom s?! #workingmoms

[Meg Whicker @MegWhicker]

@PGHMFM @boardobgyn @boardobgyn if OBGYN is not leading the charge to support breastfeeding physicians, who will? Unacceptable

[Lauren Carlos @PGHMFM]

Same friend has now been told by @boardobgyn that to be guaranteed 30 mins to pump, she had to request when she registered for the exam. Since she is due June 22, and registration opened Sept 19, she was 1 week 4 days away from conception... we know how pregnancy works, right?

@PGHMFM @boardobgyn @PearsonVUE That is absurd!!! Do better @boardobgyn and @PearsonVUE

BREAKING. As more people are tragically contracting COVID, people still need abortion care. This decision flies in the face of public health needs of communities across the US. No patient, no health care provider, should have unnecessary exposures to COVID. #AbortionIsHealthcare
