Doctors with a socially conservative political stance.

the ACP is a conservative group
but the AAP might as well be a government org.

So... to each their own.

Doctors with degrees are smarter than us either way.

You give them too much credit. Just like other humans they are influenced by social pressures and Groupthink. I'm not saying I disagree with the ACP, just pointing out that they have political conservatism at their core and aren't the same as the AAP that most people think of as on the level as the AMA.

Anyone that creates an association has 2 reasons..
to push their agenda, ideas, policies, beliefs etc
to make money

I take everything from these people to the AHA, ACS, etc etc with 2 grains of salt...

I listen to everyone's opinions and findings and check it with their qualifications and background and decide for myself. And cross check it against others.

These groups... these associations have a reason other than being nice to the World to do what they do and try to convince people they should or should not do a certain thing or live a certain way or be a certain way. Religious reasons, political reasons, doesn't matter... But any association directly linked and backed by the government or housed in D.C. immediately gets a red flag. If the government wants me to do it... I gotta think extra hard about it.

I enjoy having the right to think and choose for myself. Most people, unfortunately, need some giant "association" to think for them...
Sad...

Anytime my center starts leaning one way or the other too hard... I find common sense useful.
