Michigan Nurses For Life began independently in the hearts of two nurses in the Metro Detroit area in the fall of 1995. One was a LPN; the other was a RN.

Both called the Educational Center For Life in Oakland County to see if there was such a group already in existence. Both were aware there was a National Association of Prolife Nurses, but wanted to be involved in something local. The answer was “no”, but they were given each other's phone number.

After that meeting and a great deal of work, which included developing the purpose, structure, marketing plan, and activities for the organization, MNFL emerged as a vibrant organization.

After a number of phone conversations, the two planned to meet one rainy fall evening in 1995, at a local restaurant. Another nurse, who was a member of a local prolife nursing group that dissolved in the late 1980's, joined them.

Michigan Nurses for Life has a membership of over 100 health care professionals. Each year an educational conference is held and a certificate of attendance is offered.

In Michigan, a volunteer nurse, who is not working, and does not want to continue the expense of renewing her nursing license, can obtain a special nurse volunteer license at no charge and can volunteer as a medical professional. She DOES have to get CEU credits every two years, but not as many as for a full license.

All you Facebook Folks----the National Association of Pro-Life Nurses now has a Facebook site. Please check it out, become a fan and let the light for Life shine on Facebook!

Dear Colleagues,

In our newsletter and on our website, readers will find an interesting article indicating that there will no longer be a waiting period to obtain an abortion, no longer any information on fetal development, nurses, medical assistants and APCs and “other” health care providers may now do abortions. The judge cites “no compelling reason” to retain any restrictions on abortion access. Gee, I can think of a few—how about a young girl being brought for an abortion by her trafficker. No need to wait, get this done so she can go back to work. How about the woman who thinks she needs an abortion but with a little counseling might find a way to keep the baby. How about a second opinion on the baby’s health? How about dangers to the mother’s health that might never be explored if there is an open procedure room right now! I could list more, but you all get the idea.

I do hope that no one is surprised by these changes in Michigan law. These things are a direct result of the passage of Proposal 3. Many organizations tried to fully explain Proposal 3’s impact but the media, a well-funded campaign and a local government that was all in for more abortions muted the efforts to warn voters. We won’t give up. We will continue to advocate for women and their babies but remember this –votes have consequences. Know what you are voting for before you pull that lever!!

On another but related note, this issue is again full of articles on euthanasia (medical aid in dying, assisted suicide, end of life care—it goes by many names). Those who promote killing as heath care never give up. If they are defeated one year, they will come back the next. Look for it to be back here in Michigan in 2026.

Sometimes it seems like no one hears our voice. That does not mean we should remain silent. Silence is seen as acceptance. Some things are simply not acceptable.

Love Life!

Diane
