Public Submission
Abortion is a complex and complicated procedure, which can cause various unwanted consequences for a woman’s health. Before the abortion, the woman should be thoroughly examined and the effect of the pills on her organism should be evaluated. Nurses and Midwives are not educated for this, they do not want it, they do not want such responsibility, it is an additional burden for them for political reasons and not for health or humanitarian reasons.
We ask that this proposal be rejected as counterproductive and inadequate. It is not in the interest of Nurses and Midwives, pregnant women nor the society.
Best regards.
