As an OB-GYN currently practicing in Texas, the quality medical care I provide did not change after Texas enacted its pro-life law. Nor has the law prevented me from caring for my patients in emergencies.
Don't be fooled by misinformation.

Love my ob/gyn job, caring for women and children entering the world! Also advocating for my patients with science and statistics for life at @lozierinstitute.
- I’m a board-certified OB-GYN currently practicing in Texas. I have been practicing for over 30 years and I have delivered over 5,000 babies. Allow me to shed some light on the harmful lies coming from the pro-abortion lobby. 1/9
- Replying to @docskopI am proud to care for my patients, both moms and their babies. What we need now more than ever are facts, not fearmongering, so that we can continue to serve our patients with the medical care they deserve. 9/9
- Replying to @docskopUnder every pro-life law, including in Texas, physicians can intervene to save women’s lives in pregnancy emergencies. 5/9
- Replying to @docskopAfter Texas enacted its pro-life law, the quality medical care I provide did not change nor has the law prevented me from caring for my patients. This is true even in cases of pregnancy emergencies. 2/9

- Replying to @docskopSince the Dobbs decision, I have cared for many women suffering from ruptured ectopic pregnancies. I have performed surgeries to treat incomplete miscarriages and failed drug-induced abortions. 3/9
- Replying to @docskopI have intervened when a pregnancy complication threatened a mother’s life, even when I anticipated that sadly, the unborn child would not survive the action required to protect his mother. 4/9
- Replying to @docskopIn fact, according to a recent Texas Health and Human Services Commission report, physicians reported 116 abortions for medical emergencies and physical health between July 2022 and May 2024. 6/9
- No pro-life law prevents care for women experiencing a miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy or any pregnancy emergency. The fearmongering has to stop.
00:00 - For 30 years, I have cared for pregnant women and delivered over 5,000 babies. After Texas enacted its pro-life law, the quality medical care I provide did not change––nor has the law prevented me from caring for my patients, even in pregnancy emergencies.
- Abortion drugs cause complications four times more often than surgical abortions and fail requiring surgery in at least 3-5% of cases, even when used as the FDA has directed. The real issue? The abortion lobby pushing these unsupervised, dangerous drugs at women’s expense.
00:00 - The tragic deaths of Amber Thurman and Candi Miller were indeed preventable. They deserved far better care than they got, and they deserve justice. But it’s time to stop the misinformation. The truth (based on publicly available facts) @RealClearHealth:
