Excellence in Home Education starts here. Since 1981, God's World News has been helping children to understand and interpret the world around them. The abortion views of registered nurses in the United States have, over the last decade, undergone major reconstructive surgery, according to a survey released last month. Narrative responses from some survey respondents seem to bear this out. She does agree, though, that the survey data may simply show that more nurses now hold pro-life views than did in 1988.
Nurses overwhelmingly support a ban on partial-birth abortion because they reject abortion.
Instead, Ms. Holley says, the data mirror a larger trend toward pro-life sentiments among Americans in general. And a survey of college freshmen conducted annually by UCLA and the American Council on Education shows that support among freshman for legal abortion has fallen 14 percent since 1990. Ms. Jarvis believes the rise in new pro-life views among RNs may be working in concert with an increase in the professional standing of nurses in the medical community at large. Over the last 10 years, though, nurses have gained more respect and a bigger platform. Now they're wanting to stand up and be heard, and to let people know they believe that abortions kill children.
