CDC STI and MEC websites and apps are gone

Applications I use on my phone DAILY as an OBGYN resident for life saving patient care.

THIS WEEK, I pulled up the STI app on my phone for a 15 year old who is in her 3rd trimester (pregnancy was of course secondary to a sexual assault) after she tested positive with chlamydia. I used the app in front of a clearly traumatized patient and her mother to let them know what med(s) were safe to use in pregnancy.

I used the MEC app YESTERDAY to answer questions for a pre op patient with tons of medical co morbidies + chronic pelvic pain who wanted reassurance that her decision to get an IUD under anesthesia was a safe/she was a good candidate medically.

And now there’s an NY obgyn being criminally indicted for prescribing abortion pills in Louisiana?

I don’t know what to say at this point because just putting our head down to just work isn’t the answer (looking at you ACOG). I fully believe it is no longer safe to be an OBGYN in the vast majority of this country. We all know what is coming next…
