Donna J. Harrison

Donna J. Harrison, MD is a board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist serving as Director of Research for the American Association of Pro-life Obstetricians and Gynecologists (AAPLOG), the world's largest pro-life physician organization. She holds an adjunct professorship at Trinity International University in Deerfield, IL, where she teaches postgraduate continuing medical education seminars on reproductive technology ethics.

Her research focuses on selective progesterone receptor modulators, endometrial contraception, maternal mortality, and abortion-related morbidity. As a leading voice in reproductive bioethics, she extensively lectures on medical abortion complications, emergency contraception mechanisms, and ethical conflicts in obstetrics, emphasizing evidence-based defense of maternal and fetal health.

Her 2025 publications analyze over-the-counter abortion policy, conscientious objection frameworks, maternal-fetal diagnostic ethics, and medicine's philosophical foundations. Collectively, these works bridge clinical practice with bioethical principles in reproductive healthcare.

Dr. Harrison actively shapes policy through testimony before the FDA Reproductive Health Advisory Committee, congressional hearings, and United Nations sessions on maternal mortality and medical abortion in developing nations.

Leading AAPLOG's research initiatives, she develops resources for medical professionals navigating ethical conflicts in obstetrics, with particular focus on global reproductive health challenges and physician moral agency.
