OUR CALL TO OUR WOMEN AND OUR PEOPLE:
On June 18th, 2013, our Prime Minister has said that "with abortion and c-section a kind of murder is being commited" and that "for years our women has been sterilized with these methods and contraception methods", during presentation event of 'Being Family Project' of Family and Social Policies Ministry. As the specialization institutions of the subject, a need to release the following scientific statement has risen:
1. Delivery with c-section is a surgical operation which saves the life of mother and baby; it is never a method of "sterilization".
2. The means for sterilization on women is tubal ligation. Which is only performed on absolute demand of both partners and their mutual consent.
3. There is no scientific basis to their claim that c-section prevents more than two pregnancies. Both in our contry and throughout the world, lots of women succesfuly deliver multiple pregnancies with c-section.
4. When people is properly informed on birth control measures, the need for abortion on unwanted pregnancies disappear; as an example abortion rates have dropped 3 fold in last 30 years on our country.
5. In coutries where c-section operation is unreachable and abortion is banned, a women dies every 8 minute. In our country, with the effort of gynecology and obstetrics specialists, mother mortality rates have dropped 6 fold in last 30 years.
6. In last 10 years, c-section rates have risen in our country as it did around the world. It must not be forgotten that, for our country, the main reasons behind this are health policies in effect, and therefore the risk of medical doctors facing legal charges by their patient.
7. Mother and baby mortality rates have significantly dropped in Turkey. The main reason behind this is the world quality health service provided to women by our selfless colleagues day and night.
8. Presenting Turkish Medical Doctors as "pawns of an unknown power to sterilize our patients without their knowledge" has deeply offended and wounded the professionals of gynecology and obstetrics. Gynecology and obstetrics have always practiced their profession by acting based on science and laws. Medical Doctors being accused for abiding by law is legally unacceptable.
9. As the national speciality association for Gynecology and Obstetrics and sub-specialization associations, against all adverse conditions including violence against doctors, we respectfully present to the judgement of our esteemed people and women that, we will keep serving our people with our main motive to select this profession which is LOVE FOR HUMAN AND DESIRE TO HELP HUMAN without geting tired.
