“Do no harm.”  

It’s one of the first principles of ethical medical care, dating back to the ancient Greeks. But political pressure and a false understanding of patient autonomy have instead forced physicians to violate their patients’ dignity and their own conscience.

It’s a troubling paradigm shift in modern medicine, especially in the OB-GYN field.

Physicians are reduced to simple service providers, dispensing whatever the patient requests, rather than practicing thoughtful, evidence-based care.

Consequently, prominent institutions, including the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, now disregard physicians’ fundamental right to act in accordance with their moral principles and true care for their patients. 

As a devout Catholic whose conscience rights were violated during residency, I know firsthand the restraints
