The Heritage Foundation has announced the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists (AAPLOG) as a recipient of the Heritage Innovation Prize. The award, which comes with a $100,000 grant, will support AAPLOG's Abortion Pill Reversal Education and Recruitment Project. This initiative aims to educate physicians, patients, insurance providers, and the general public about abortion pill reversals through Continuing Medical Education (CME) and an extensive media campaign.
To date, this reversal method has reportedly saved 4,500 lives. AAPLOG's mission is to be a leading medical voice that educates the medical community, policy makers and the public on declining death as a therapeutic option. This approach respects all human life and prohibits medical practitioners from taking lives, including those of unborn children.
Heritage President Dr. Kevin Roberts said in a statement: “As a nation, we must rally behind a culture of revitalizing and supporting life and our solemn duty to defend the lives of the unborn. It is an honor to celebrate and support the work and tenacious advocacy efforts by AAPLOG in their noble mission of preserving the dignity of all human life and educating our nation of the harmful consequences of the pro-abortion industry.”
Christina Francis, MD, Chief Executive Officer of AAPLOG also commented: "Abortion pill rescue (APR) is an evidence-based therapy that has saved the lives of thousands of children whose mothers began a chemical abortion but changed their minds. Unfortunately, APR is under attack by political actors who wish to ban this lifesaving treatment."
The Heritage Innovation Prize recognizes nonprofits for projects involving research, litigation, education or communications that produce tangible results. The prize focuses on areas such as empowering parents in education, holding Big Tech accountable, countering threats from China's Communist Party, securing America’s borders and reducing crime among others.
This round marks the fourth time these prizes have been awarded. Last year's recipients included Communio, the National Association of Scholars, the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs, Speech First, and the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation. The awards are sponsored by The Heritage Foundation’s endowment for innovative conservative projects.
