The American Medical Association took an unprecedented stand against state abortion laws

The American Medical Association took an unprecedented stand against state abortion laws CBS News reports that the AMA is suing North Dakota over two of its abortion laws, referred to as "compelled speech laws." One of the laws forces doctors to tell patients that a medication abortion can be reversed if they have only taken one of the two medications involved. As the AMA wrote in its suit, this is "patently false." A separate North Dakota law requires physicians to describe abortion... As terminating "the life of a whole, separate, unique living human being." In a press release, the AMA describes this message as "controversial, ideological, and non-medical"... And writes that this law "unconstitutionally forces physicians to act as the mouthpiece of the state." Given the AMA’s track record, its new, vocal stance is a huge deal. Everyone deserves access to medically accurate information, and we’re glad that the AMA is fighting to make that happen.
