Are you looking for a pro-life doctor? A physician who recognizes the dignity of all human life and stands true to this principal in his or her practice?
You’re not alone.
We’ve received several requests to our office for this information, so we did some research and here’s what we found…
It just so happens that a fantastic organization, called the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians & Gynecologists (or AAPLOG), exists! Their members include both pro-life OB/GYNs and other pro-life medical professionals.
This is their mission statement:
The reason AAPLOG exists is to encourage and equip its members and other concerned medical practitioners to provide an evidence-based rationale for defending the lives of both the pregnant mother and her unborn child.
In support of this mission, AAPLOG affirms that:
-We, as physicians and medical practitioners, are responsible for the care and well-being of both our pregnant woman patient and her unborn child;
-The unborn child is a human being from the time of fertilization;
-Elective disruption/abortion of human life at any time from fertilization onward constitutes the willful destructions of an innocent human being, and that this procedure will have no place in our practice of the healing arts;
-We are committed to educate abortion-vulnerable patients, the general public, pregnancy care center counselors, and our medical colleagues regarding the medical and psychological complications associated with induced abortion, as evidenced in the scientific literature; and
-We are deeply concerned about the profound, adverse effects of elective abortion, not just on women, but also on the entire involved family, and on our society at large.
Pretty awesome, right?
Anyways, their website offers many resources, and among other things, they provide a search engine to help you find the closest pro-life doctor near you.
