Push to Move OB-GYN Exam Out of Texas Is Piece of AGs’ Broader Reproductive Rights Campaign

  • On June 24, 2025, 20 Democratic attorneys general petitioned to move or virtualize the OB-GYN certification exam held in Dallas due to restrictive abortion laws in Texas.
  • This petition follows the 2022 Supreme Court decision removing constitutional abortion rights and subsequent abortion bans in 16 states, including Texas, which impose criminal penalties on providers.
  • The petition warns that confusing state restrictions create a legal minefield for providers traveling to Texas, with some physicians fearing prosecution despite protections in their home states.
  • The American Medical Association recommended on June 9 that specialty boards move exams out of states with restrictive laws, offer remote testing, or provide exemptions, which Rachel Rebouché said advances awareness and a 'public reckoning.'
  • This campaign highlights ongoing efforts by attorneys general and advocates to protect reproductive and gender-affirming care providers amid increasing legal threats and to ensure emergency abortion care access in hospitals.
