This blog was originally written in 2018, but I have edited it over the years. I most recently edited it in 2023.
Few in Christendom would disagree with the reality that abortion is the single biggest human rights’ violation of our generation. The dehumanizing and devaluing of an entire people group, the preborn children, merely because of their location has cost millions of lives since the passing of Roe v Wade in 1973. In a world that has rejected God that is not altogether surprising but what is surprising is that this Holocaust is taking place in an area that was once committed to doing no harm and represents themselves as the beacon of care and that is the medical field and more specifically obstetrics. What a curious thing that an area of medicine and not just any area of medicine but the very field that is entrusted with the care of a mother and her child is contributing to, promoting and supporting this genocide of an entire people group-the preborn. Victor Frankel, during WWII, had a famous quote where he said, “The ovens of Auschwitz, were prepared in the classrooms of Germany.”(1) This terrifying truth is exactly the reality today as the deaths of millions of preborn children, were prepared in the classrooms of college classes that are supposed to teach only on medicine, the helping and healing of people, but rather they also teach on the systematic desensitization of how medical students would see the child in utero.
The field of obstetrics has dehumanized the preborn child in such a manner that ob/gyns can perform an abortion and actually think they are doing some sort of good for society. How can this field that is supposed to be dedicated to the care of a mother and her child have fallen so far? It goes back to Victor Frankel’s famous quote and there is an organization that has been all too happy to make sure that those very doctors who were educated in the area of gynecology and obstetrics become removed from seeing the preborn child as a distinct individual made uniquely in God’s Image with a purpose and just as much value as the human being outside of the womb.
This organization is called ACOG. The wolf in sheep’s clothing. ACOG is the acronym for The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists. This is a 501(c)(3) organization. It is the nation’s leading group of physicians providing healthcare for women. It has 60,000+ members and they are said to, ‘….
- strongly advocate for quality health care for women
- provide education for its members and the public
- increase awareness of the changing issues facing women’s health care
ACOG is committed to changing the culture of medicine and taking action to address racism.”(About ACOG | ACOG)
ACOG has a responsibility to not stand for abortion as abortion is the killing of OBs preborn patients. If ACOG truly wants to end racism and bring true equality, then they have to end the preemptive killing of their preborn patients. The number one killer of African Americans is abortion so if ACOG cares about ending racism they have to STOP promoting abortions. Also, if they are speaking about wanting equality to occur then the first way they can go about bringing equality is to not discriminate against preborn children who have health conditions/genetic diagnoses (who do prenatal testing and PGD testing), by targeting the precious children for abortion.
Most would hear the name ACOG and the description of all that they do for “women’s healthcare” and applaud this organization for having the backs of women, but this organization has a not so hidden agenda that does not care for the health and rights of all women as the precious females ( and males) in utero are not included in this quality of care but rather are targets of ACOG’s agenda to promote and encourage performing abortions as well as promoting fetal tissue experimentation. How can an educated, developed society offer its youngest members to the fires of Molech and what makes this so sinister is the fact that this education of dehumanizing and desensitizing is taking place in the classrooms that are supposed to be places of learning to do no harm, use medicine to heal and help and champion life but that is not what is happening.
ACOG must be exposed. At its foundation, ACOG is all about promoting abortion. ACOG believes that the harm of a preborn child, for certain situations, is more important than protecting them. According to the pro abortion site, “Changing the Face of Medicine” they share how one of the founding fellows of ACOG, joined in 1952. (Changing the Face of Medicine |) Dr Jane Hodgson was horrifically a huge supporter and promoter of abortions. According to Planned Parenthood Dr. Hodgson was such a strong supporter of abortion that she received the Planned Parenthood Federation of America Margaret Sanger Award in 1995.(The Maggie Awards recognize contributions made by the media and arts that enhance the public’s understanding of reproductive rights and health care issues. (plannedparenthood.org)) Margaret Sanger who founded Planned Parenthood was a eugenist and this award is founded in applauding the recipient’s work in standing for abortion which of course is an award applauding the furthering of the culture of death and marginalizing an entire people group’s life.
ACOG is bold in their evil views toward dehumanizing the preborn children as they promote that the sick in utero and those preborn babies are not seen as a person and definitely as a second patient and with believing this falsehood some in the medical community justify aborting babies. ACOG has openly said they believe that “personhood” for the preborn child takes away from abortion rights so, like Planned Parenthood, they have an abortion agenda but again the terrifying thing is that ACOG is involved with the medical field, the very field that should be committed to helping and healing, not destroying lives. ACOG recommends integrating first trimester abortion training into family medicine training. How ironic, yet again, that “family” medicine would be an area that ACOG would want to see one of the family members destroyed merely because of the geographical location of the child. ACOG shares their evil view on not wanting to see the personhood of the preborn children recognized under the law evidence by this disturbing statement,
“The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) opposes any proposals, laws, or policies that attempt to confer “personhood” to a fertilized egg, embryo, or fetus. …..The decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization in 2022 opened the door for a resurgence of such proposals and increased the threat that this type of designation will be leveraged to penalize and target pregnant women and people. ACOG opposes so-called “personhood” laws and their many iterations and other statutes that attach criminal liability to the conduct of pregnant people with respect to their own health. ACOG advocates against the adoption of “personhood” measures in any form and urges the repeal and reversal of these policies because of the harm they inflict.
Access to evidence-based, comprehensive reproductive health care is critical for the lives and health of the women and people for whom obstetrician–gynecologists provide care. This includes all medical interventions that allow people to determine whether and when to become or to be pregnant, including contraception, abortion, and in vitro fertilization. Assigning rights to fertilized eggs compromises access to essential facets of medical care. Elevating the legal status of fertilized eggs to that of women and pregnant people has wide implications for access to medications, medical interventions, and management of high-risk pregnancies. ACOG firmly believes that science must be at the core of public health policies and medical decision making that affect the health and life of women and people seeking reproductive health care.” (ACOG Statement on “Personhood” Measures | ACOG)
Counteracting the above statements:
First off, what is so disturbing is that ACOG believes, as states in the article above, that what hinders their work in the OB GYN field are laws that stand for the preborn children in the womb and recognize their personhood in the womb. Also, I would say it is not accurate to call a child in the womb a “fertilized egg” as how conception/fertilization occurs is when the sperm and the egg meet in that moment a child is made, a unique child never to be made again, and this child is not an egg but a unique person made in God’s Image. Also, women never go to jail for an abortion that they have in a state where it is illegal as pro-lifers never punish the women but rather our laws punish abortionists instead so ACOG is false regarding claiming women go to jail for having an abortion. The “people,” as ACOG stated, who go to jail are the abortionists, not the women.
It would be criminal to even suggest that a child outside of the womb is not a person and should be destroyed due to one’s health status or no longer being wanted, yet ACOG has open season on the preborn child’s destruction.
In a committee opinion ACOG wrote entitled, “Abortion Training and Education” they state, “Implement the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) requirement that all obstetrics and gynecology residency programs provide training in comprehensive women’s reproductive health care, including opt-out abortion training, in which training is routinely integrated into residency but residents with religious or moral objections can opt out of participation.” (ACOG. “Abortion Training and Education” PMLA no. 612, November 2014 https://www.acog.org/Resources-And-Publications/Committee-Opinions/Committee-on-Health-Care-for-Underserved-Women/Abortion-Training-and-Education.)
It is so sickening to me that they offer abortion training. No wonder abortion is always happening.
In an article from ACOG entitled, ACOG Statement in Support Fetal Tissue Research, they state, “However, current attacks on fetal tissue research, part of an effort to oppose and disparage safe, legal abortion in this country, represent a significant setback in our Nation’s approach to science and our patients’ hope for future breakthroughs.”
(https://www.acog.org/news/news-releases/2016/03/acog-statement-in-support-of-fetal-tissue-research)
This sounds like something out of a Planned Parenthood newsletter not from an organization that is a group of medical people supposedly dedicated to the care of women and families. Experimenting on fetal tissue also sounds like something out of the experiments done during Nazi Germany, another time in our history, where an entire people group was dehumanized and a society was brainwashed willingly into marginalizing the lives of millions to the point of sitting by silently as a group of people was exterminated.
The joint letter, connected to the article link above, that promotes and advocates for fetal tissue research states, in March of 2016, “As leading academic medical centers and scientific and medical societies who conduct and support life-saving research, we have grave concerns about legislative proposals to restrict the use of fetal tissue for research.”(https://www.aamc.org/download/444248/data/statementinsupportoffetaltissueresearch.pdf) Fetal tissue is directly linked with abortion. They say in one breath they want to do fetal tissue research to help others and yet that very “help” comes only through the death of an innocent victim – the preborn child.

In ACOG’s Committee Opinion, entitled “Increasing Access to Abortion,” they say, “ Safe, legal abortion is a necessary component of comprehensive health care. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists supports the availability of high-quality reproductive health services for all patients and is committed to improving access to abortion. Access to abortion is threatened by state and federal government restrictions, limitations on insurance coverage of abortion care, restrictions on funding for training, restrictions imposed by hospitals and health care systems, stigma, violence against clinicians who provide abortions, and a subsequent dearth of clinicians who provide abortions.”(https://www.acog.org/clinical/clinical-guidance/committee-opinion/articles/2020/12/increasing-access-to-abortion) This organization is not committed to the whole health care of women when they point blank are advocating for the death of the preborn child. This poses mammoth ethical issues when medical students are being desensitized to the life of the preborn child and educated that abortion is a form of women’s healthcare.
Death of a people group should never be viewed as any form of health care, but when an organization like ACOG is endorsing and encouraging education on abortions then young medical students are being slowly lulled into believing that taking a life is actually a form of health care. How can that ever be ethical.
Caring for women’s health will never mean empowering them to choose death and caring for women’s health will never mean educating future doctors that ending an innocent human being’s life is ever the answer. Also, what a brutal death it is for that preborn child no matter at what gestational age. And ACOG does not even present the accurate information on fetal pain as they wrongly educate and completely dismiss the horrific pain that preborn child feels during the abortion procedure. A preborn child DOES experience pain before 24 weeks, and ACOG completely denies this truth.
ACOG said, “Facts are important, especially when it comes to policies and discussions that impact patients. Here are the scientific facts concerning gestational development and capacity for pain.
The science conclusively establishes that a human fetus does not have the capacity to experience pain until after at least 24–25 weeks. Every major medical organization that has examined this issue and peer-reviewed studies on the matter have consistently reached the conclusion that abortion before this point does not result in the perception of pain in a fetus.i, ii, iii, iv, v
Rigorous scientific studies have found that the connections necessary to transmit signals from peripheral sensory nerves to the brain, as well as the brain structures necessary to process those signals, do not develop until at or after 24 weeks of gestation.vi Because it lacks these connections and structures, a fetus or embryo does not have the physiological capacity to perceive pain until at least this gestational age.”(https://www.acog.org/advocacy/facts-are-important/gestational-development-capacity-for-pain )
This is simply not accurate hence medical students are desensitized to the horrific pain the preborn child experiences during an abortion. The child is starved to death in the first trimester and systematically dismembered in the second and in the third trimester, the pro-life group, Live Action, explains, “the abortionist will usually first kill the baby in utero by injecting a substance that causes cardiac arrest, and induces the mother’s labor to deliver her baby stillborn.” (https://www.abortionprocedures.com/induction/) Is this the action of a civilized society and furthermore is this “medical care?” Dismembering human beings? According to ACOG this is in fact medical care of the highest order and a generation of numb, misguided and confused OB/GYNs is being cultivated to see abortion as “medical care.” Joseph Goebbels, who was a Nazi politician in Germany, was famous for saying if you tell a lie long enough, that people will believe it and that is what is happening through the lies of ACOG.
The American College of Pediatrics states the accurate view of when a child experiences pain in utero. They state, “The American College of Pediatricians (ACPeds) maintains that it is unethical to intentionally harm an innocent human being even in the absence of the individual’s ability to perceive pain. However, in this paper, ACPeds reviews the laboratory and clinical evidence which indicates that as early as 12 weeks gestation (and possibly earlier) exposure to noxious stimuli negatively affects immature human beings. Because of the resulting acute stress responses and subsequent potential long-term negative effects, the ACPeds holds that avoiding, mitigating, and directly treating fetal, neonatal, and pediatric pain is a medical and ethical obligation.” (Fetal Pain: What is the Scientific Evidence? | American College of Pediatricians (acpeds.org))
When an organization like ACOG, that is held in high esteem that, has the power to influence the medical field uses the vocabulary of medical care to describe the destruction of a people group, we have used semantics yet again to lull people into thinking that that which is outrageous is normal, good and right and that is what ACOG has been doing. Slavery, The Holocaust/Jewish genocide, and more were all founded in a dehumanizing vocabulary used to describe these people groups.
In Brennan’s book, “Dehumanizing the Vulnerable,” he says so powerfully, “The power of language to color one’s view of reality is profound. In many instances, the most significant factor determining how an object will be perceived is not the nature of the object itself, but the words employed to characterize it.”( 1 ) Brennan hits the nail on the head. When an organization like ACOG champions abortion and uses the vocabulary of healthcare, not only does an entire population drink the kool aid but an entire generation of medical doctors embrace and act on that thinking and can with no moral convictions and no conviction of conscience tear a child limb from limb and stop a child’s beating heart all in the name of “women’s healthcare.” How far have we fallen?
Doctors know that life begins at fertilization. The issue is not all about when does life begin, but will society continue to reject the evidence one has to continue to lie to oneself to believe there is “a seemingly noble reason” to abort a child. If doctors advocate for abortion and society looks to doctors to have the answers then it is truly sheep being led to the slaughter.
ACOG is unethical in every manner suggesting abortion as healthcare and advocating for abortion training. Abortion training is unnecessary for the following reasons. Abortion is not medical care because abortion is killing a living child inside of the womb. Obstetrics is supposed to care for the child and mother, not kill the children. This child is as much in a physician’s care as the mom. Treating an unborn with such disrespect as to kill them.
I was one of those children who was targeted for abortion by the medical field. 25 years ago, my parents were completely shocked when they were in for a rude awakening that the medical field sometimes uses their power to advocate for death.
Three doctors insisted that my parents abort me and the doctors’ rationale for insisting my life be ended was based on that they “assumed” I had Trisomy 18 so these doctors immediately devalued my very life, yes doctors, and relegated my life to being disposable and not worth fighting for and gave me a death sentence all because my only crime was being supposedly sick in utero. My parents to this day were and are dumb-founded that some in the medical community deem a child’s life in utero as disposable just because that child is sick. Thank heavens I have parents who allow God and the intrinsic value of all life to guide their decisions, unlike the medical field, and they fought for me and 25 years later here I am advocating for the value of ALL life and praying the medical field realizes they are not God and it is completely unethical, even without factoring in Biblical truth, to devalue ANY human life and to end human life in the name of medical care.
In the book, Dehumanizing the Vulnerable by Brennan, he says, “Today, scores of human lives before birth are proficiently snuffed out in a display of “raw medical power” in radical opposition to the physician-as-healer principle embodied in the doctor’s most basic code of ethics, the Hippocratic Oath, an oath containing explicit condemnations of killing, both inside and outside the womb. The uterus-once a private sanctuary suited for growth and development-has been transformed into a deadly environment polluted by the invasion of destructive instruments and poison-ous substances. The bodies of the undesired unborn are torn apart, dismembered, obliterated, poisoned, or subjected to lethal injections. Their remains are exploited for research, harvested as tissue and organ transplants, and either incinerated or dumped into the sewage and waste disposal systems.”(page 27)
You can see how biased they are. They have abortion as a foundational goal but we will change that through exposing their deeds and praying for their hearts. If I could share this with the medical field I believe that maybe people would run from ACOG. I plead with you to hear and take in everything that I am sharing with you about what they say.
ACOG denies personhood to stand for child killing. ACOG has a systematic plot to take life. They deny personhood and share why they consider the personhood of the unborn is a “threat.”
Abortion, which is what ACOG advocates, takes away being able to focus on true healthcare which is helping the sick by helping these children in utero survive and by fighting for their lives which is what the medical field is called to do, no matter the outcome.
Please listen to this plea as the words written in this paper that are mine speak from a heart of sadness and wanting to emphasize how wrong it is for ACOG to use their power to advocate and educate for the taking of innocent lives. Please take these in as the painful truths about ACOG’s bias and protocol about who they really are. They are wolves in sheep’s clothing. My heart is to see the medical field’s foundation transformed to God’s glory. May the unethical practices of ACOG be stopped.
