The maternal mortality rate in the U.S. is unacceptably high, especially among Black, Brown, and Native American women.
On #MaternalHealthAwarenessDay, I will continue fighting for reproductive freedoms and to expand maternal healthcare initiatives in our communities.

This Roe Day, we reflect on the courageous abortion care professionals and clinic workers who were targeted and killed for providing abortion care. We lift up their names in memoriam and to remind us all of what is at stake when abortion is stigmatized. bit.ly/3CmoHTB

Maternal mortality review committees harness data—one of the most powerful tools we have to save maternal lives—to inform evidence-based solutions. Their work must not be compromised by bias or conflicts of interest. Read our statement: bit.ly/4fOBXxU

By learning more about self-managed abortion, ob-gyns can support patient safety, privacy, and trust—which is especially critical in the aftermath of the Dobbs decision. ACOG’s latest guidance urges clinicians to be informed about self-managed abortion: bit.ly/3AGX4DW

The phrase "abortion pill" is a biased one that stigmatizes medication abortion, which is a well-studied regimen of safe, effective mifepristone and misoprostol and is a essential part of health care. Read our Guide to Language and Abortion: bit.ly/ACOGLangGuide

ACOG rejects the latest judicial attack on mifepristone. This safe, effective medication is essential for reproductive health care. No state should interfere with access to basic, necessary health services. Read our full statement: bit.ly/3Yrbl0v
