Doctors Call On Trump Admin To Fix Broken System They Say Failed Mothers

A coalition of pro-life medical and legal organizations is pressing the Trump administration to overhaul how federal health officials track pregnancy-related deaths and abortions. In a Wednesday letter to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Erica Schwartz, the groups argue that weak data leaves patients and doctors without a clear picture of risk. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and other administration officials were copied. Americans United for Life organized the effort, according to Daily Caller.

The signers want the agency to put out the 2025 abortion surveillance report, which has been held up for almost a year. They also want a yearly public dashboard on maternal deaths that compares mortality across all pregnancy outcomes, including births and abortions. Additionally, they urge the CDC to ask states for more voluntary details, such as the provider, the method, drug lot numbers, whether the procedure happened at home, and patients' anonymized health histories.

Americans United for Life chief executive John Mize noted that only Congress can compel states to report, but said the CDC should use whatever room it has. Dr. Ingrid Skop of the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists urged Schwartz to restore the agency's data integrity.
