Virginia OBGYNS for Life – Statement of Agreement

We affirm the humanity of the pre-born baby from fertilization to birth. Our mission is to safely deliver the baby and insure the life of the mother. We believe that God wants us to defend all life and specifically the helpless since society and the courts have declared them non-persons and therefore not protected under our Constitution.

 

As Obstetricians and Gynecologists responsible for the care of the mother and her unborn baby, we oppose abortion, it being the willful destruction of an innocent human being and we pledge not to be involved in the procedure nor refer the mother to another doctor for an abortion. We reject elective abortion as being a ‘standard of care for unwanted pregnancies’.  We further pledge to support and promote life affirming alternative solutions for mothers with difficult pregnancies.

In addition to the elective death of the baby, we believe that abortion has profound, adverse effects that impact the mother that include higher risk for suicide, accidents and homicides. Also there are significant higher risks of mental health disorders including anxiety, mood disorders and substance abuse. There are also negative impacts on the father, the extended family and society at large as evidenced by our violent culture.  When life is devalued in the family, it is inevitably devalued in society at large.

We reaffirm our pledge in the HIPPOCRATIC OATH.

If you are an OB-GYN here in Virginia, we ask you to please pdf download our Statement of Agreement and mail it to us so we can add your name to our list of OB-GYNS who affirm the sanctity of life.

About the Author

Virginia Christian Alliance
The mission of the VIRGINIA CHRISTIAN ALLIANCE is to promote moral, social and scientific issues we face today from a Biblical point of view. In addition we will refute and oppose, not with hate, but with facts and humor, the secular cultural abuses that have overridden laws and standards of conduct of the past. We will encourage Christians to participate in these efforts through conferences, development of position papers, booklets and tracts, radio/TV spots, newspaper ads and articles and letters-to-the editor, web sites, newsletters and providing speakers for church and civic meetings.
