Abortion – Royal College of Nursing looks set to back decriminalisation
from SPUC:
The Royal College of Nursing looks set to back the decriminalisation agenda, after three quarters of nurses surveyed voted in favour.
Is it representative?
The RCN said today that the results of a UK-wide poll of RCN members showed 73.7% of respondents had voted in favour of removing criminal sanctions from legislation relating to abortion. Nearly 3,000 people responded to the survey, giving an overall response rate equivalent to 1% of the RCN’s 435,000 total membership.
If the poll is representative of the views of nurses, the results are shocking, said SPUC’s Antonia Tully. “What have nurses been told about the real implications of decriminalising abortion?” she asked. “It seems astounding that men and women in a profession dedicated to caring for others, should back a campaign which so endangers mothers and their unborn babies.”
BPAS influence
“Our suspicions about what nurses have been told rest on the fact that the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) has been advised on this matter by the abortion industry,” Mrs Tully continued. “The RCN is listening to the British Pregnancy Advisory Service, Britain’s largest abortion provider, who have a vested interest in making abortion ever more accessible, with little regard for the health and safety of women.”
