ACAAI statement in response to SCOTUS decision in Thomas E. Dobbs, et al. versus Jackson Women’s Health Organization, et al.
The College recognizes that our members have a wide range of views on this issue, but we share the common goal of protecting the physician-patient relationship. We understand and value the importance of patients’ ability to make their own health care decisions in consultation with their physician. As such, the College does not support any rules, laws or government interference that compromise the integrity of the physician-patient relationship.
This situation will continue to evolve in the coming weeks and months. The College will continue to monitor any effects of federal or state law on the care of our patients and to support our members in delivering evidence-based care. As always, the leadership of the College appreciates all of our members’ input on this and any other issue affecting their practice, our patients and our specialty.
