“Both the UK Guardian and the Daily
Telegraph have major stories today on a push in Great Britain to allow
nurses to perform abortions in that country.”
Ed Cognoski responds:
Beware of the law of unintended consequences. If doctors are pressured not to perform abortions, then access to safe, legal abortion is denied, which leads to movements like this to increase the number of medical professionals who can perform the procedure. And if doctors and nurses are both pressured not to perform abortions, the number of illegal abortions will increase. The goal should be to make abortion safe, legal, and rare, not to drive it into the back alley.
