  3. working in nursing homes

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to nightmare's topic in International Nursing

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to Rnn2003's topic in General Nursing

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to Lauriek's topic in General Nursing

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to Blackcat99's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree. It is much harder for pro-choice people to show such a graphic display of the consequences of unwanted pregnancy. I shudder to think what life would be like in The U.S. if there were...
