Webinar: The Myth that Safe Abortions Save Lives

January 11, 2018 By Curtis Cosby

Recorded January 10, 2018 — Dr. Christina Francis presents “The Medical and Psychological Complications of Abortion: The Myth that Safe Abortions Save Lives.”

Dr. Christina Francis is a board-certified OB/GYN who currently works in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Dr. Francis completed medical school at Indiana University in 2005 and completed her OB/GYN residency at St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis in 2009. She is chair of the board of the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists and a board member of Indiana Right to Life. Dr. Francis offers her medical expertise, knowledge of bioethics, and pro-life reasoning both here in the U.S and around the globe. She has always had a passion for human rights, spending a significant portion of the past 10 years in various countries working tirelessly on behalf of women and children. Dr. Francis spent time working with orphans in Romania and Burma, discussing the importance of life issues with university students in Israel, and working for three years as the only OB/GYN at a mission hospital in rural Kenya. Dr. Francis left Kenya in 2014 to work on behalf of women and children in her home state and beyond who are often victims of the abortion industry, and to educate people on the greatest social injustice of our time.

Her medical expertise and knowledge of bioethics makes Dr. Francis a unique voice in the conversation about human rights and pro-life issues. Having spoken to a variety of audiences, Dr. Francis has the ability to communicate a life-affirming message to people of all ages and viewpoints.
