Last month, the American College of Nurse-Midwives held its Midwifery Works Conference. For the first time in six years, the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists were not there. Why not? They were disinvited by conference organizers, just a month before the conference.  

The decision by conference officials to ban the pro-life OB-GYNs came amid threats to decertify those who spread “abortion misinformation.” In other words, anyone who rejects the idea that elective abortion is “reproductive healthcare” for women should not, they say, serve as a midwife.  

According to AAPLOG CEO Donna Harrison, “Three national studies have revealed that somewhere between 75% and 93% of OB-GYNs do not perform abortions in their practices.” So, despite the fact the vast majority of OB-GYNs do not perform abortions, the message from the American College of Nurse-Midwives is “embrace the culture of death, or choose another career.”
