Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark · An OBGYN On What The Abortion Pill Actually Does To Your Body | Dr. Christina Francis, MD · 20 Feb 2026 podcast

So the organization that I lead, APLOG, the American Association of Pro-Life OBGYNs,

We actually started as a special interest group within ACOG back in 1973 because the leadership of ACOG, which previously had been actually relatively neutral on the issue of abortion and saw abortion as an attempt to fix a social problem, actually, something that really didn't have a role in medicine.

They filed pro-abortion amicus briefs in both the Roe v. Wade and the Doe v. Bolton cases.

And when that happened, many of their members saw that the leadership was becoming much more pro-abortion.

Their members were largely pro-life.

And so they said, we need to form a special interest group within ACOG to ensure that a pro-life presence stays within ACOG.

We became their largest special interest group and stayed that way until 2013 when they dissolved the title of special interest group.

we think probably to get rid of us, but we don't know that for sure.

But then we became a separate organization.

We had 2,000 members at that time in 2013.

We now are at 8,000 members.

So we're growing significantly.

And I think a lot of that is because so many people have seen the way ACOG has just continued their push

to promote abortion above good medicine and good science and ignore the evidence of the harms to women, ignore the preborn child completely.

In fact, they recently changed their logo, which was a mom holding her baby, and took the mom and baby out of their logo completely.

I think that that is indicative of where they have moved as an organization and that they care about these political issues or issues that have been politicized, at least, like abortion, so much more than they care about actual health care being delivered to women in a safe way.

I think that there are probably some that we're not even aware of, but the ones that we are aware of are a potential impact on their future fertility because of if they get an infection or the more times that a woman has to have her uterus instrumented.

So if she has to have a surgical completion of her abortion, that increases her risk of potentially not being able to get pregnant in the future.

We also know that those women that start their abortions medically or with those drugs are

and then have to complete them surgically, have a 300% increased risk of preterm birth in future pregnancies.
