Texas Appoints Extremist, Who Said 9-Year-Olds Are Fine Giving Birth, to Maternal Mortality Committee
Dr. Ingrid Skop is one of the nation’s top anti-abortion OBGYNs and has previously justified abortion bans that lack rape exceptions by arguing children as young as nine can safely remain pregnant.who say Texas’ total abortion ban jeopardized their lives by denying them emergency abortion care. Now, the state’s maternal mortality committee is in the process of gathering and assessing statewide data on pregnancy-related deaths.
“For over 30 years, I have advocated for both of my patients, a pregnant woman and her unborn child,” Skopin an interview published on Tuesday. The American College of Obstetrician and Gynecologists notably rejects the terms “unborn child” and “elective abortion” as medically inaccurate terms., a Dallas woman who unsuccessfully sued to have an abortion for her nonviable pregnancy.
WTF! Dr. Ingrid Skop, who thinks women should die instead of receiving an abortion, gets appointed to Texas’ maternal mortality review committee!

But earlier this year, that same study wasby the medical journal that published it due to research flaws and conflicts of interest from its authors.
