Many of our board members shared how Dr. Harrison shaped medicine and impacted their lives. Read these special messages below.
Dr. Donna Harrison has been a role model, mentor, and Christian friend for many years. She is selfless and diligent in her devotion to achieving clinical excellence and protection for mothers and their preborn babies.
- Dr. George Delgado
Dr. Donna Harrison was CEO of AAPLOG in its early days and made AAPLOG what it is today, paving the way for Dr. Francis to take AAPLOG even further. Dr. Harrison is an amazing leader, researcher, mentor, and friend. She is the reason that I am involved in the pro-life movement.
She has humbly and strategically impacted the pro-life movement in this country. Dr. Harrison has been a mentor and example to many and is the quintessential example of servant leadership.
- Dr. Christina Cirucci
Donna is a fighter and a doer! I first met Donna at an AAPLOG dinner in North Carolina. A month later I was on AAPLOG’s board. She is one tough woman to say no to because she is such a fierce leader. Because she was willing to get in the arena, we all got there too. Courage is contagious!
- Dr. Susan Bane
When I first met Donna, she was a legend in my mind. She personified the pro-life OB/GYN that I wanted to become. In the years since, as I have gotten to know her and work closely alongside her, I have discovered she is more compassionate, intelligent and hard-working than I ever imagined. God has many crowns awaiting Donna in heaven for fighting so hard to protect His most vulnerable children, but I am grateful we have many more years to continue the fight together.
- Dr. Ingrid Skop
I met Donna three decades ago at my first MBEC meeting. Her passion as a leader has always been contagious. Communicating with composure and grace, she is a role model for all of us with life-affirming aspirations.
- Dr. Michael Valley
Dr. Donna Harrison is the epitome of a servant leader. She has led the fight for life with sacrifice, courage, grace and fierce humility. I had one conversation with her about the impact of abortion on the Black community, and it was in that very moment that I received my calling. It was a calling to stand unequivocally with her and affirm life. I will be forever grateful for her example, her leadership and her vision to protect and preserve life.
- Dr. Anthereca E. Lane
I am so thankful for Donna, whose singular passion for women and preborn babies courageously moved forward the mission of AAPLOG and prolife medicine. Donna has been the force behind the refusal to just give over true women’s healthcare to the prevailing culture promoting abortion and the devaluation of human life in all its forms. One of my favorite pictures of Donna as seeing her on the Capital grounds with Christina and the attorneys when the U.S. Supreme heard the federal case Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA.
When Donna was honored at CMDA Conference this year, I learned so much more about her life of consistent, tireless dedication to LIFE and Hippocratic Medicine. Donna – well done. It will all bear fruit. When I get tired, you are one of the people who inspire me and relight the fire! You have helped to raise up an army of passionate prolife medical professionals and many others. Thank you for giving your life for LIFE.
- Dr. Catherine Wheeler
While I haven’t known Dr. Harrison for long, I can say that she has inspired me so much not just to be a great physician but also a female leader in the pro-life movement. Her encouragement to me and the board as a whole has been such a blessing. I will miss her involvement with the board, but I am so excited for her as she starts this next chapter.
- Dr. Sydney Ray
I can honestly say that my life (and the course it would take) was changed the day I met Donna in a small restaurant in northern Indiana in 2013. As she recounted her recent trip to speak at an international women’s conference (where she was kicked out of the conference for being pro-life but still found a way to give her talk about the harms of abortion in an adjacent facility), I thought “Wow. This is a woman I have to know!” What followed has been more than a decade of having the privilege to see what can happen when someone is dedicated to defending life and the integrity of scientific inquiry and our profession. Donna models for all of us how to stand for truth with tenacity and grace and I will forever be grateful to her for the foundation she laid for AAPLOG and for seeing in me what I didn’t see in myself. She will be greatly missed here at AAPLOG!
