WASHINGTON October 28, 2024 – The American College of Physicians (바카라 사리트) is concerned about inaccurate and misleading information about abortion services that is being distributed in the state of Florida in relation to a ballot measure that would add protection for access to abortion to the state constitution. Patients must have access to the full range of necessary reproductive health services, including abortion, and they need to have accurate information about these services. Abortion is safer than many other common medical procedures; complication rates from abortion are extremely low.
바카라 사리트 is committed to stopping and preventing the spread of medical disinformation and misinformation, and vigorously supports the use of science and scientific expertise, based on the best available evidence. Further, 바카라 사리트 that individuals have the right to make their own decisions, in partnership with their physician or health care professional, on matters affecting their individual reproductive health, including about types of contraceptive methods they use or whether or not to continue a pregnancy. 바카라 사리트 strongly opposes medically unnecessary government restrictions on any health care services. 바카라 사리트 is committed to ensuring that our patients can access necessary services, and that governmental interference does not prevent access to evidence-based care.
