The catastrophic maternal health care access crisis in the United States is widening existing gaps in health outcomes. Worse maternal health outcomes don’t just mean poor health: they also cost lives. #MaternalHealthAwarenessDay
ACOG District XI (Texas) retweeted
Today is #MaternalHealthAwarenessDay! We are shedding light on the crisis in maternal and reproductive health care access in the United States. Check the hashtag to learn from ACOG members and partners about this access crisis.

Leaders of physician groups, including ACOG President Iffath Abbasi Hoskins, MD, FACOG, are urging Congress to establish a stable #Medicare physician payment system to break down access barriers for beneficiaries and provide much-needed assistance to health care professionals.
ACOG District XI (Texas) retweeted
Last month, nearly 700 #obgynadvocates came to Washington, D.C., and asked Congress to invest in #Medicare payment solutions to ensure continued patient access. Congress heard you! Act now to ask your representatives to prioritize payment stability. bit.ly/3Ncq75X

Everyone from @GovAbbott to the Texas Maternal Mortality Review Committee has called on the #TXlege to extend new moms' health coverage to 12 months.
The Texas House votes on #HB12 today, which would do just that. THA urges passage of this important bill by @RepToniRoseTX.
ACOG District XI (Texas) retweeted
Today at #txlege we are supporting HB916 as it goes to the full House for a vote. This bill would allow Texas women to receive a full 12 months supply of birth control. Thank you @ClaudiaOrdazTX for all your amazing work on this issue! #WomenEmpowerment #HealthyMotherHealthyTX

ALT Text against a black background shows a quote from Maureen Phipps, chief executive officer of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. It reads: "When 44% of OB-GYN residents are trained in states that are now empowered to ban abortion, patients will have to question whether their OB-GYN has had access to the quality of training that we have all come to expect."
ACOG District XI (Texas) retweeted
We joined leaders in emergency medicine, public health, OBGYN, pediatrics & more to submit a legal brief in support of the @HHSGov guidance on #EMTALA. The brief explains how the TX challenge misunderstands federal law & the on-the-ground practice of medicine. #ActForAccess

“Abortion may be the necessary stabilizing treatment for some emergency conditions.” Read more of the amicus brief that ACOG, @AmerMedicalAssn, @MySMFM, and more filed in a Texas case about abortion care as emergency medical treatment for pregnant patients:bit.ly/3Aw9Jqp
![LEGAL ADVOCACY IN THE COURTS
ACOG filed an amicus brief in a Texas case to support the defendants’ position that emergency treatment of pregnant patients under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act includes abortion care. The brief states:
“In some cases, the only way to stabilize [pregnant] patients is by performing an abortion. When a physician determines that that is the case, EMTALA mandates what their ethical obligations already required: providing the patient stabilizing—and perhaps even life-saving—care.”
