AMA Partners with ArMA to Oppose Senate Bills

The American Medical Association (AMA) partnered with the Arizona Medical Association (ArMA) to send a letter to the entire Arizona Senate that opposes two bills — SB1457 and SB1381. These bills subject physicians to criminal liability (class six felony) and potential imprisonment for counseling and providing reproductive health options to their patients. ArMA has a long-standing policy of opposing the criminalization of physicians for providing legal medical care. These bills have been introduced in prior sessions but unfortunately, this year they are moving forward and being approved by Senate Committees.

Take action against these bills now. Please tell your Senators that you oppose the criminalization of physicians by clicking here!
