Now they want to explicitly legalize exactly what they claimed was the horror they wanted to avoid by legalizing abortion. Nonprofessionals performing abortions.
I guess if the nonprofessionals with coat hangers donate to the fascist party and aren't in back alleys it makes all the difference, huh?
The truth is, Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioners (ARNP) are not exactly back alley, coat-hanger wielding quacks. Utilization of ARNPs is increasing as research provides evidence their outcomes are every bit as good as that of MDs, but they are much less expensive. So, quality of care isn’t an issue. However, as a nurse, I can speak with great certaintly when I say if the point is to have more providers who do abortions, they will be very disappointed. Nurses are by nature very conservative and compassionate people who have even less stomach for the abortion industry than medical doctors. It’s sickening gruesome work, and therein lies the problem.
