 Our History
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 now grown to a membership of over 200 health care professionals. Each year an Educational Conference is held and Contact Hours are offered. A great deal has been accomplished, but there is so much more to be done!

The message below was posted on the Facebook page of the National Association of Pro-Life Nurses. Kristin Coletti-Giesler is the webmaster for NAPLN's web site and it is she that is making the request. She lives in North Carolina , so the doctors she mentions are not from Michigan . Do any of you have any ideas to share with her regarding her request? If so, please email her at nurse4life@me.com, identify your self as a member of Michigan Nurses for Life and share your ideas. This is a really practical way we can help women who are choosing life for their babies.
 Does anyone have suggestions where I can purchase low cost prenatal vitamins? The docs I am interning with have a need. They take care of many of the saved moms and babies from the abortion mill for free. I am sending letters to the pharmaceutical companies for donations, and charities as well, but that might take a while. I would like to purchase a bunch to fill the immediate need. Suggestions appreciated.

Dear Colleague,
As you all know, Michigan Nurses for Life is a 501 (c) 3 organization and as such is prohibited by law from recommending or endorsing candidates for political office. I do not intend to do so. I am, however, going to encourage you to be sure and vote in the upcoming primary election.
In some ways, the primary is even more important than the general election in November. If a candidate does not make it through the primary, he or she will not be on the ballot in November.
I am encouraging you to carefully consider the positions held by each candidate. My own personal criteria is that a candidate must be willing to extend respect, dignity and protection to the weakest members of our society – to those members who have no voice of their own, or are unable to speak for themselves. That of course includes the unborn child, the elderly and/or the disabled child or adult. You see, I believe that if the candidate cannot, or will not, publicly state his or her willingness to support these individuals, I have no confidence he or she will be able to support me, who has a voice and can speak. Being pro-life is not the only issue that is important to me as a voter, but NOT being pro-life is a disqualifying issue.
How are we to know who is and who is not? One way is to use the Candidate Survey published by Right to Life-Lifespan. You know that MNFL works closely with Lifespan and with the Educational Center for Life. Neither of these organizations can endorse candidates either, but Lifespan sends each candidate a survey consisting of 10 questions regarding pro-life issues. They can each be answered with a yes, or no response. A yes answer is a pro-life answer and a no is not. By seeing who responds to the survey, and what their answers are, you can get a pretty good idea of where they stand on pro-life issues. Their answers are not filtered through a political action committee but come straight from the candidate.
The rest is up to you. Form your opinion in light of your own beliefs and then VOTE! Love Life!
Diane
Diane Trombley , RN, BSN
President, MNFL
