I wonder how many pro-life medical professionals actually do work in hospitals that provide abortion services.
Well written...Not. First impressions and all that.
Yeah. Do check out the pro-abortion stances of your employer. As I suppose Ms. Stanek makes sure her column doesn't appear in any publication that supports abortion rights?
It's easier said than done. If we expect health care professionals to refuse to work with pro-abortion hospitals, then the same rules should apply to all of us. Does your employer support abortion rights, cover abortion with insurance, contribute to Planned Parenthood? If so, should you quit your job?
There is also something to be said for being "in the world but not of the world". Can we make a bigger contribution by quietly converting those around us who are pro-abortion by mingling with them and helping them see the light, or by rejecting them and staying away? I honestly don't know but I think the policy advocated by Ms. Stanek ought to apply both to the goose and the gander.
Not true, to many so called pro-choicers are ignorant, I should know, at one time I was one of the fools.
I've since helped many others understand why I became pro-life, why I do not believe in exceptions, and why it is so important that we respect the life of the unborn.
I would never, ever work in a hospital that had abortions.
Many of those who believe in a right to abortion have been brainwashed by the media, and by the schools, and many other sources.
All it took me was a science class in college, to straighten me out.
Many of these folks do not know life begins at conception, instead of cursing them, yelling at them, or using emotion, explain it. You'll be surprised at your fellow man.
I can safely say that my pro-life brother works at a Catholic hospital that doesn't provide abortion services. In order to avoid having to cross that Rubicon - the hospital shut down it's OB/GYN wing, and no longer provides services in that vein.
I'm in RN and I work in a Catholic hospital. We only perform D&Cs on patients who have a confirmed fetal demise. Heck, we can't even dispense birth control pills. I've been at this facility for 12 years now, so it's the only type of policies and practice I really know.
---Note the irony that abortion has contributed to the shortage of health care workers.---
It has also "offed" the young female scientist who would have cured cancer, the kid who who have found a new, effective and clean way to derive endless energy from high sulfur coal and the company of 20-somethings who would have figured a way to feed all the poor in the world using only 5% of the fertilizer now required on only 11% of the land mass. Other than that, it has been a harmless and worthy "choice."
