|  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!

Dear Colleagues |
This is a very important time for all pro-life people. While MNFL cannot endorse or recommend candidates for political office, we can encourage you to carefully study the positions of those candidates on issues that impact human life.
There are many places you can seek such information. Michigan Right to Life, Right to Life – LIFESPAN, a candidate's own mailings or a call to the candidate's office will all provide such information.
There is so much at stake this election season, both on a state wide basis and federally. If a candidate cannot, or will not, protect the most defenseless and voiceless member of our society, how can we be sure he/she will defend us?
The issue of embryonic stem cell research* will be on our November ballot. MNFL can address legislative issues and encourages you to remember that absolutely no legitimate cures or treatments have come from research that destroys the human  embryo (embryonic stem cell research), but dozens of treatments and cures have resulted from the use of adult stem cells. It seems such a waste of time, talent and, yes, money, to pursue research that has “come up empty” and uses human life as raw research material when treatments and cures exist and could be increased and expanded upon by increasing life affirming, life giving adult stem cell research.
Love Life!
Diane Trombley
