Dr. George Delgado has long stood at the forefront of the fight for life in medicine. As a pioneer of Abortion Pill Reversal (APR), a dedicated AAPLOG board member, author, president of the Steno Institute for life-affirming research, and a loving husband and father, his cutting-edge work has started new conversations and saved preborn lives.
We are deeply honored to count Dr. Delgado among AAPLOG’s active members as we continue this important work together: defending the integrity of our profession while championing compassionate, life-affirming care for both mother and child.
Over the weekend, the National Right to Life’s Proudly Pro-Life Gala was a powerful and meaningful evening, not only because it inspired and encouraged attendees, but because it recognized a physician whose impact is felt far beyond the walls of any one clinic. Dr. Delgado was honored with the Proudly Pro-Life award for his groundbreaking, lifesaving work, which has given countless mothers renewed hope and their preborn children a real chance at life.
According to NRLC, the Proudly Pro-Life Award ranks among the highest and oldest pro-life honors. “We reserve it for leaders whose courage, clarity, and perseverance have defended the most vulnerable children in the human family, the unborn. Over the years, this award has gone to champions of life such as President Ronald Reagan, St. Mother Teresa, Representative Henry Hyde, John Cardinal O’Connor, Judge Robert Bork, Mrs. Arthur DeMoss, St. Pope John Paul II, Dr. James Dobson, and others who gave their strength to protect life,” they explained.
Dr. Delgado told us, “I’m truly honored to receive an award that was previously bestowed on people much more deserving than me, including Pope John Paul II, Mother Teresa, and Dr. James Dobson.”
His recognition is a reminder that doctors’ voices matter, and a reminder of what is possible when courage, conviction, and medical expertise come together—and why this work must continue. Congratulations to Dr. Delgado!
