I'm glad you aren't a grumpy as I thought. I still don't see a problem with a men's group you use as an example, though. Where I went to school, there were all sorts of groups: religious, political, cultural, social, general support groups, etc. Not to mention sororities and fraternities. At a university of 30,000, who cared what someone else was in? I didn't ask for a CV from everyone I sat next to or interacted with in class.
In nursing school, there were some groups, but most of us didn't have time or energy to participate in anything but class. I think, in a nursing class of 27, a group like what the OP suggested would have been inappropriate. However, at the school there WAS a pro-choice (as well as a pro-life) student group. I have no idea if some of my classmates were involved in those groups. If they were, it certainly wouldn't have bothered me.
Finally...someone pro life on this thread and not afraid to say it.
See my 2 cents, although harsh, above in the middle of everyone else s pro-choice lunacy.
My sincere condolences to you for the loss of your baby... Know that he or she is with Jesus right now and someday your girlfriend will have to answer to God on judgement day.

I am pro-choice however I would never refer to the opposition as "lunacy". I believe in showing respect for those who disagree with me. We can disagree and nobody here is a lunatic IMHO.
Soo...let me get this straight...you are becoming nurses to support life? Why are you advocating that it is perfectly acceptable to kill babies. They are babies you know, from the moment of conception! If you dont think that scraping or sucking a baby out of a womb is murder, then at what point does it become murder....when both the head AND feet are out of the womb.. What if most of the body was out - --head to knees-- could you still kill it then and not be a murderer?? Unfathomable.
What if your mothers decided to abort you?? America may already have aborted the one who could have cured cancer, AIDS, diabetes,etc.... Here is a great alternative for killing babies...how about adopting them out to those who actually want them? If you dont want to go through the pregnancy processs---keep your legs closed to begin with! Sex is not a necessary function to live. You play you pay.
Ok, well assuming that because she's going to be a nurse and "shouldn't " as you've said participate in pro-choice activities, then why don't we just start making choices for our patients, I mean let's forget how they feel. Why give chemo to patients who have lung cancer b/c they smoked, I mean, smoking cigarettes isn't a necessary function to live.:chuckle
Personally, I think having abortions shouldn't be a form of birth control, however, I don't want the gov't or any other nut job making my decisions either. To the OP, while I find your enthusiasim refreshing, perhaps, nursing school maybe isn't the time or the place, you know what I mean. Other than that, I'm all for it girl, just not right now.
I hate to see nurses on either side of an issue where they deem those w/ an opposing position preposterous or ridiculous. Most of us get to where we are in life by the experiences we have. Sometimes we have one viewpoint in one stage of our life and a very different one in another. It's part of our evolution. I am not a pro-abortion advocate, but I have many friends who are decent and good people who don't share my views. I respect them and they me, because we are thoughtful people who have very good reasons for believing as we do. I know how I feel and I am comfortable w/ it. I don't prosthelitize or evangelize my views, esp. not w/ patients or other nurses and I am totally turned off by those who do. It is good to meet other people w/ different opinions, but respect and knowing when to keep one's mouth shut and when to speak out goes a long way. If you form a pro-choice group, it may be very divisive if you are very vocal about it in the context of your nursing school curriculum. If it is more of a college group open to anyone who is like minded and separate from nursing, it might be less divisive. This is a very polarizing issue and in nursing you will find that there are many nurses who vigorously support and oppose your viewpoint and many, many more kind of in the middle.
