After two years of thoughtful conversations and curbside consults, Caring for Bothcomes to a close—making way for something new.

In this bittersweet final episode, we reflect on the heart and impact of the Caring for Both series while looking ahead to the future of women’s health conversations. Jordan Butler is joined by AAPLOG Chair and longtime series contributor Dr. Susan Bane to discuss the inspiration behind AAPLOG’s brand‑new podcast, OBservations.

Together, they share what listeners can expect from this new open‑discussion format—real stories, real science, and real questions shaping women’s health today—along with reflections on favorite Caring for Both moments, exciting updates about MBEC, and what AAPLOG is anticipating for the 2026 Pro‑Life March.

Whether you’ve been with us from the beginning or are just finding the conversation, this episode marks both an ending and an invitation—to continue engaging, listening, and thinking together in a new way.

Join us as we say thank you, look forward, and officially introduce OBservations.

In this episode of Caring for Both, a Curbside Consult Series by the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists (AAPLOG), Jordan Butler sits down with Dr. Christina Francis, CEO of AAPLOG, to discuss a critical letter recently sent to the FDA and HHS. The letter urges immediate review of mifepristone—the first drug in the two-pill regimen commonly used for chemical abortions—amid growing concerns about safety and oversight.

Dr. Francis explains why AAPLOG is sounding the alarm now, what the data really show about complication rates, and how the dismantling of safeguards like in-person evaluations and ultrasounds has impacted women’s health. We’ll also explore the real-world consequences of these policy changes and what steps can be taken to restore transparency and protect patients.
