AAPLOG

What AAPLOG does

AAPLOG (American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit professional membership association founded in 1973 and headquartered in Fort Wayne, Indiana, serving more than 7,500 physician, midwife, family medicine, student, and resident members practicing life-affirming obstetrics and gynecology in the United States. The organization delivers its mission through a portfolio of membership services, clinical resources, and advocacy programs, including practice guidelines, position statements, committee opinions, a Pro-Life Directory of life-affirming physicians, special interest groups (Maternal Fetal Medicine, Midwifery, Mental Health, Residency/Medical Schools, Medical Professionals of Color, Emergency Medicine), and the annual Matthew Bulfin Educational Conference (MBEC) in Orlando offering CME credits. Media and educational channels include the OBservations podcast, the Caring for Both curbside consult series, the Post-Roe Review limited series, Journal Club, Medical Voices Masterclass, Hippocratic Academy, and the Pro-Life Medical Speakers Bureau, with advocacy conducted through the AAPLOG Action arm and coalition partnerships with Alliance Defending Freedom, Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, American College of Family Medicine, American College of Pediatricians, Christian Medical and Dental Associations, and others.

The underlying technology is a content and community platform rather than a software product: a public website (aaplog.org), a members-only portal (members.aaplog.site) hosted on Wild Apricot, a separate conference site, podcasts distributed via Spotify and YouTube, and social media on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. Revenue is generated through three primary streams: recurring annual membership dues across physician, associate/midwife, and student/resident tiers (pricing not publicly disclosed), one-time conference registration historically priced at $150 for CME credits, and tax-deductible donations accepted at preset and custom amounts. The organization also received a one-time $100,000 Heritage Innovation Prize grant in May 2024 to fund the Abortion Pill Reversal Education Project online course.

AAPLOG is led by CEO Dr. Christina Francis with a small staff (1-10 employees) and a board that includes Vice Chair Dr. Susan Bane and Colorado Co-chair Dr. Catherine Wheeler; it operates no parent company and has no venture, private equity, or public-market ownership. Its growth engine is a community-led go-to-market combining member referrals, state chapter development (with AAPLOG Colorado launched in April 2024 as the first state chapter), conference attendance, podcast content, medical school outreach, and media/legislative testimony. Recent strategic emphasis is on FDA mifepristone regulatory advocacy through amicus briefs and joint regulatory letters representing 30,000 medical professionals across six organizations.
