The American College of Pediatricians (ACPeds) is a socially conservative association of pediatricians and other healthcare professionals in the United States. The College was founded in 2002 by a group of pediatricians including Joseph Zanga, a past president of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), as a protest against the AAP's support for adoption by gay couples.
The academy was founded in 1930 by 35 pediatricians to address pediatric healthcare standards.[2] It has 62,000 members in primary care and sub-specialist areas.[3] Qualified pediatricians can become fellows.

They are not the same as,

The latter is the most nationally recognized.
Just to give everyone a heads up.
That is more or less what I was hinting at with the risk of making this political first, and medical second.
These people broke away from the professional scientific body (AAP) and formed an organization based on conservative political and religious ideology (ACP). Spend enough time with those people and you'd think we haven't progressed beyond leeches or demonic possession as a medical diagnosis.
Hyperbolic nonsense. Do you have any evidence to support your silly claim?
In other words, you made that **** up. Got it.I don't have to justify why the views of an organization that rejects science when they think it will offend the sensibilities of a big invisible man in the sky are so much trash.
Unless you'd care to refute the science cited in their statement. I saw no mention of leeches or flying spaghetti monsters.
Their garbage is refuted by the professional scientific and authoritative body, the American Academy of Pediatrics. Not that its any more worthy of consideration than the notions of the Flat Earth Society.
Sooo, you've got nothing. That's what I thought.
Hey, I'm not going to stop you from filling your mind with nonsense on par with reading chicken bones and tea leaves. If you know the difference between the AAP and the ACP then you're welcome to bask in ignorance.
You cannot refute the statement, we've already established that. No need to continue to highlight that.
I don't need to. It stands refuted by the American Academy of Pediatrics, which is the authoritative scientific body. Go back to your chicken bones if it please you.
It's not that you don't need to, it's that you cannot. Their statement is solidly based in science, no dogmatic assertions to be found. And yet, you cannot refute it.
