The Frontlines of Pro-Life Conscience and Care - Part 1 with Guest Dr. Christina Francis, M.D.

Did you know that before Roe v. Wade, the once reputable American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists opposed killing babies in the womb? Tragically, the group by and large became aggressively pro-abortion once the egregious law was passed in 1973. In the late 2000s, the organization declared that if a physician will not perform or refer an abortion, he or she is unethical, and should even lose his or her license. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Christina Francis explains that the American Association of Pro-life Obstetricians and Gynecologists was formed to reaffirm the value and dignity of individual human life in all stages of growth and development. Their 60,000 pro-life members, who are all doctors, assert that science is demonstrably on the side of life — from the moment of conception.
