With respect, @acog should state unequivocally that anyone who takes the actions described Saturday is subject to loss of license & criminal prosecution.
At least in the United States - it may be different in the *other* countries where he's paid for teens to have abortions.

Don't take a nuanced approach to disputing what he's said.
State unequivocally that what he said is a total fabrication - that no preemie would simply be wrapped carefully in a blanket and presented for the mother to "decide"...

that even a naturally born premature infant would likely be placed in an incubator, wired up with monitors and respirators and the like, and wheeled off to NICU.
that, was the time taken to carefully + beautifully wrap a potentially viable premature infant without the above lifesaving measures, they'd likely have a cyanotic attack, which would effectively obviate any decisionmaking.
And be malpractice, I'd assume.

Etc., etc.
Don't take the nuanced approach. Deny the statement, make him revise it, and it will be a bit less fantastical (though still false) - deny it again.
Wash,. rinse, repeat, until the claim gets watered down so far it loses all shock value and he abandons that tack.

And get the members of your college - no matter if they perform abortions or not - to make and release a statement to local media that states that they fully support the loss of license and criminal prosecution for anyone who engages in the practice described Saturday night.
But a dry, wonky, generic statement isn't gonna cut it.
It needs to convey emotion, that physicians are astounded that any president would claim their profession as the modern-day version of the satanic child sacrifice ritual, to the alter of science, medicine + knowledge.
