Sharing articles on social media, even when we haven’t read them, can lead us to believe we are experts on a topic.

Segment 4 – Fearmongering Medical Misinformation
“In this post-Dobbs era, fearmongering medical misinformation has been alive and well in the media. The current narrative works to instill panic into the hearts of women everywhere by promoting the idea they will not receive necessary life-saving medical treatment if their state does not allow abortions. This misinformation is also making doctors think they can’t treat women for medical emergencies.”

Dr. Grazie Pozo Christie is a Policy Advisor for The Catholic Association.  She writes and speaks in both Spanish and English about Catholicism, religious freedom, and the intersection of faith and science.  As a Hispanic, she brings a special focus on social issues that affect the growing Latino population, such as the state of the family and the real needs of the poor and marginalized.  As a physician, she is able to address complex subjects relating to government health policy and its true impact on the people it purports to help.
