Pregnant Nurses and Abortion

Physicians frequently work with nurses who are pregnant. Typically, physicians and nurses celebrate the life of the child in the womb throughout the pregnancy. Sometimes nurses bring in 4-D photos of the child in the womb. Are physicians to celebrate all of this in one conversation and then walk into an exam room and perform, recommend, or otherwise treat abortion as just another medical procedure? Not at all. The contradiction would be palpable and it is a contradiction that physicians and nurses should not involve themselves in.
