Michigan Nurses

For Life

HOME

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 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.
