A medical board that certifies obstetricians and gynecologists (OB-GYNs) in the United States and Canada threatened to revoke providers’ certification due to “misinformation and disinformation” around COVID-19 and abortions.
The American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG) said in a July 7 statement: “ABOG will review reports of dissemination of misinformation and disinformation about COVID-19, reproductive health care, contraception, abortion, and other OB GYN practices that may harm the patients we serve or public health. Eligibility to gain or maintain ABOG certification may be lost if ABOG determines that diplomates do not meet the standards that they have agreed to meet and that the public deserves and expects.”
