ACFM Physicians Strike a Chord in Nashville

From October 20-24, in Nashville, Tennessee, members of the ACFM hosted a booth at the AAFP's annual FMX Conference. Many of our ACFM members are also part of AAFP's Pro-Life Member Interest Group (MIG), which held it's annual meeting at the conference. The MIG meeting was the largest ever and it was great to meet new like-minded physicians!

In all, between our booth and the MIG, we are happy to welcome more than 70 new physicians to the ACFM! The outpouring of support was overwhelming. The look on people's faces when they said, "I am so glad that there is a group to represent to me" was refreshing to the soul.

This Thanksgiving season, we are so grateful for physicians and allied clinicians like yourselves who put the Hippocratic-ethos front and center in patient care.

But we also know we can't stop there. We need to build our ranks, fund our programming, and spread the message that our patients are worthy of care from conception until natural death.

In order to further our mission, we are humbly asking for not only your moral support but your financial support. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to the American College of Family Medicine.

Pro-life & Women's Sports Legislative Updates

Election night brought a mixed bag for Pro-Life measures.

Idaho (Proposition 1): Pro-life advocates secured a significant victory in Idaho, where voters defeated Proposition 1. The measure sought to establish a statutory right to abortion care and end the state's existing abortion restrictions.

Missouri (Amendment 3): The measure aimed to overturn the state's 2024 reproductive freedom amendment and reinstate abortion restrictions; however, voters rejected the measure.

Virginia (Question 1) & Nevada (Question 6): Both Virginia and Nevada voters engrained a constitutional "right" to abortion.

Nebraska (Initiative 442): Approved overwhelmingly by voters with approximately 68% support. The Fairness for Girls Initiative officially enshrines the state's existing athletic restrictions directly into the Nebraska Constitution, applying to public K-12 and collegiate levels.

Washington (Initiative 638): Marked a major political pivot in a traditionally blue state, passing with roughly 57% of the vote. The measure prohibits K-12 male students from competing on female-exclusive teams and introduces strict verification protocols requiring healthcare provider statements.

Arizona (Proposition 318): Passed by voters to expand existing public K-12 athletic restrictions to private schools and collegiate levels. It also codifies restrictions on restroom and locker room access based on sex.

Colorado (Proposition 134): In a close race, the initiative—which mandates that public school and collegiate sports divisions be designated by reproductive anatomy at birth—held a 52.2% lead as final ballots were counted.

We here at the ACFM will continue to fight for our patients regardless of their size, location, or stage of development. Given these developments, your physical, moral, and financial support are more important than ever.
