New Arizona Abortion Law SB 1318 Forces Doctors to Lie to Women About Their Abortions
In an editorial published on Arizona Central earlier this month, Dr. Eric Reuss of the Arizona Section of the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists urged legislators to rethink the provision, which he claimed is medically unsound:
If ever there is an example of Legislative overreach, this would be it. There is absolutely no evidence-based data that the [medication abortion] process can be reversed. If passed, our state government will force physicians to impart hearsay to their patients.
The law’s “abortion reversal” provision is apparently based on the medical evidence of just one doctor, noted anti-abortion physician Dr. George Delgado. Delgado currently serves as the medical director of Culture of Life Family Health Care, a California-based nonprofit that purports to help women and families with unintended pregnancies. The nonprofit says it offers “a true choice to abortion methods” on its website.
