In the wake of the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG) threatened to revoke the board certification of any OB-GYN who spreads “misinformation and disinformation about contraception and abortion.”

“ABOG will review reports of dissemination of misinformation and disinformation about COVID-19, reproductive health care, contraception, abortion, and other OB GYN practices that may harm the patients we serve or public health,” the statement reads. “Eligibility to gain or maintain ABOG certification may be lost if ABOG determines that diplomates do not meet the standards that they have agreed to meet and that the public deserves and expects.”
