THE
WINNER OF THE STETHOSCOPE DRAWING AT THE
MNFL TABLE AT THE MICHIGAN NURSES
ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE IN MARCH WAS
SHERRY FARNSWORTH, A STUDENT AT
ALPENA COMMUNITY COLLEGE.
CONGRATULATIONS SHERRY!
Dear Colleagues,
Board members and several
members of MNFL staffed MNFL information
tables at no fewer than four conferences in
recent days. In all cases attendees of the
conference stopped at the tables, showed
interest in our materials and many said they
were glad that we were present.
Unfortunately there were also those that
said they had no idea that there was an
organization such as ours!! Now that is
discouraging!
Clearly there is work to
be done here and all of you can help. Every
nurse seems to know at least three other
nurses that they call friends. Not all of
them may be pro-life, but if you think one
or two of them might be ask if we can send
them a newsletter and some information about
MNFL. If you are currently employed and have
a bulletin board or information rack, let us
know and we can send you a brochure about
MNFL to place there.
We are all aware of the so
called "birth control mandate" that the
Obama administration has imposed on
religious organizations and institutions, We
must be very clear here. This is less an
issue about access to birth control and much
more an issue of first amendment rights. The
first amendment guarantees that the federal
government cannot interfere with the free
exercise of religion and that is exactly
what this new rule does. Whatever your faith
belief may be, allowing this rule to stand
places all religious practices in jeopardy,
to say nothing about forcing taxpayers to
fund abortion causing drugs through
insurance payments. If you need more
information about this issue, call the
office and we can provide it.
Right to Life-Lifespan's
annual dinner is May 8th at the San Marino
Club in Troy. Pro-life, Christian comedian
will help us all to laugh, love and
Celebrate Life. Call for information.
