Stunningly claims killing babies ‘saves lives’
The pro-abortion American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists (ACOG) has announced that it will nationally support abortion up to birth “without limits.”
In an op-ed written by leaders of ACOG and the Society of Family Planning for The Washington Post, the groups stated that abortion “must be available without restrictions, without limitations and without barriers.”

The op-ed was in response to a pro-life op-ed penned by Kellyanne Conway and SBA Pro-Life president Marjorie Dannenfelser, in which the two wrote, “Republicans need to go on offense on abortion.”
ACOG claims abortion ‘saves lives’ and should be done ‘without limitations’
In their response op-ed, Christopher Zahn, interim chief executive at ACOG, and Jenni (also referred to as “Jen”) Villavicencio, interim director of advocacy and public affairs for the Society of Family Planning and formerly of ACOG, accused Conway and Dannenfelser of misleading Americans. The pro-abortion pair made the false claim that abortion is safe and went as far as to claim that abortion “improves and saves lives.” Villavicencio has previously claimed that the abortion pill, which studies have shown is four times more dangerous than a surgical abortion, is “just as safe as ibuprofen, the Advil that you get out of your cabinet or off the shelf in the local pharmacy.”
Abortion “must be available without restrictions, without limitations and without barriers — just as any other critical part of health care,” Zahn and Villavicencio claimed.
Villavicencio has aslo previously falsely asserted that later abortions are only done if things have gone “terribly wrong” with a pregnancy — a claim not supported by research which has instead shown that women abort later in pregnancy for largely the same reasons they abort early in pregnancy. As Live Action News noted:
One study from the pro-abortion group ANSIRH states, “The reasons people need third-trimester abortions are not so different from why people need abortions before the third trimester… [T]he circumstances that lead to someone needing a third-trimester abortion have overlaps with the pathways to abortion at other gestations.”
