Abstract
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) is the default professional organization for obstetricians and gynecologists in the United States. Unfortunately, ACOG's policy and treatment of abortion is more radical than a large section of the country's obstetricians and gynecologists. ACOG has functionally ceased to represent this section of physicians, as its voice no longer speaks in unison with theirs. Worse still, ACOG has actively opposed obstetricians and gynecologists who do not agree with their radical policy, or who advocate for individual rights to choose not to refer for abortion. This document describes ACOG's abortion policy and outlines the events that led to non-representation.
