CUCOG Statement on Recent Abortion Restrictions

The Executive Committee of the Council of University Chairs of Obstetrics and Gynecology (CUCOG) met in response to the recent actions by several state legislatures to limit and ban abortion access. We fully support the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists’ (ACOG) Statement opposing political efforts to regulate women’s health care, including limiting access to safe abortion. As Chairs of Academic Obstetrics and Gynecology Departments throughout the country, we oppose criminalization of medical procedures and political interference in reproductive health care. We are deeply concerned about the adverse impact of these actions on the training of our students, residents, and fellows, and above all, on the health and safety of the patients for whom we care.
