More than a dozen of the United States' top medical organizations have filed a brief arguing that the controversial abortion law undermines medical ethics.
Nineteen medical societies—including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine—are named in the brief for their belief that the Texas abortion ban"causes grave harm to patients and public health" and is"contrary to principles of medical ethics.
Furthermore, the organizations stated that by deputizing members of the community, the patient-clinician relationship is intruded upon based on allegations. As a result, while the bill may be intended to prevent abortions, it will impact other forms of women's health and reproductive health care.
