Over 50 nurses at Hospital Universitario, San Juan, Puerto Rico, have announced that they will no longer assist with abortion procedures. The hospital has in recent years allowed an increasing number of elective abortions, even though the publicly funded hospital is under no obligation to do so. Nurses object to the procedures and they object to being lied to about them.
The spokeswoman for the nurses pointed out that nonetheless the number of abortions at the publicly funded Hospital Universitario has increased and that an estimated one hundred babies have been killed there in the last two years.“Two or three years ago there were very few cases. We were told that the patient had already initiated an abortion before arriving at the hospital. Later we discovered that was not the case and that they were being admitted to have an abortion,” she said.

The nurse spokesman said many abortions are performed because of “health reasons” or because of rape or incest. “Sometimes we talk to these women and they tell us that in reality they were not raped, but rather they had problems with the child’s father and could not have the baby now,” she said.
The report says that most of the doctors also disagree with the hospital’s abortion policies. The administration is so determined to allow killing of pre-born babies, however, that it intends to hire doctors and nurses with fewer moral scruples.
