It’s time for Congress to pass a permanent solution to the broken Medicare payment system so that ob-gyns can build sustainable practices, ensuring that they can provide care to patients today and in the future. Make your voice heard: https://t.co/CCxtkS2dvw
Tell your member of Congress today to pass the funding bill with reauthorizations of the #PreventingMaternalDeathsAct, #THCGME, National Health Service Corps, and #PREEMIEAct: https://t.co/PED6secvwN 2/2
The time is now. Congress must pass the funding bill that includes measures such as relief from burdensome #Medicare payment cuts—key to helping doctors continue to provide critical health care—and support for lifesaving maternal and infant health programs. 1/2

This #TransgenderAwarenessWeek, ACOG honors @SarahEMcBride. Ob-GynPAC was proud to endorse her campaign for Congress this year, and we look forward to working with her to protect access to patient-centered, evidence-based health care.
The @AmerMedicalAssn considers voting to be a social determinant of health. Our JFCAC chair, who uses Vot-ER in his practice, says talking to patients about voting comes down to asking a few questions.
@sbaprolife Legislative interference hobbles the ability of doctors to provide patients with care in the moment, when training and expertise should trump any law. The best way to make sure laws don't prevent doctors from acting in an emergency is to repeal the law. https://t.co/vSzWeg1AbV
Today, the Senate will vote AGAIN on the #RightToIVF act, which would protect the ability of patients across the country to access critical fertility care, regardless of their restrictive state laws. Tell your Senator TODAY to support this bill. #IVFforAll https://t.co/288BcAOkRC
Today, #SCOTUS is hearing arguments that will determine whether unscientific, unnecessary restrictions will once again make it harder for clinicians to provide safe, effective mifepristone to patients for abortion and miscarriage care. Read our statement: https://t.co/ue4pHQwq6N
Why are nearly 800 #obgyns on Capitol Hill today? Because physician payment cuts plus inflation means practices can’t survive, and because MMRCs are critical to finding solutions to save maternal lives. #CLC2024
ACOG strongly opposes burdensome restrictions on mifepristone. Our members and their patients need access to evidence-based standard-of-care treatments. The Supreme Court must ensure that mifepristone will remain available. Read our statement: https://t.co/qWfInfvs4g
In states where abortion is restricted, doctors live in fear of being thrown in jail for simply doing their job.
Dr. Zahedi-Spung shares her story as we call on Congress to protect reproductive freedom for the people of America.
Stories are critically important to how we understand complex topics, including #abortion. But this new story from @thelilynews and @washingtonpost isn’t helping anything by being irresponsibly one-sided. https://t.co/Qm7MaDCuxf
