Pledge - Knowledge is Power
Get empowered. Religiously affiliated hospitals often allow religious doctrine, not proven medical best practices, to dictate the kind of care and procedures that women experiencing pregnancy complications can receive. In these hospitals, patient care and medical standards be beholden to religious doctrine and, as a result, women’s health suffers and women’s lives can be at risk.
Take our pledge:
- Arm yourself with knowledge about how religious restrictions can affect your medical care.
- Share this important information with your friends and family to ensure everyone you love is armed with this knowledge and the ability to receive the medical care they need.
- Share your story. Have you or someone you know experienced something like this? We want to know.
