National Nurses Association Condemns Arizona's Expected Repeal of Pro-Life Law

Phoenix, Arizona - The National Association of Pro-Life Nurses (NAPN) is expressing deep disappointment over the Arizona state legislature's decision to repeal its longstanding pro-life law. This misguided move threatens to compromise the standard of ethical care by undermining the fundamental principles that guide the nursing profession.

Background: Arizona's pro-life law provides essential protections for women and their preborn children through common-sense abortion limits. Now, radical abortion extremists are pushing for abortion on-demand through all nine months of pregnancy in Arizona.

Impact on Patient Care: The repeal of this law will have far-reaching consequences for women's health in Arizona. Here's how:

Medical Ethics: The Arizona pro-life law upholds the highest ethical standards by ensuring that medical professionals prioritize life-saving interventions over extreme pro-abortion mandates. Its repeal could open the door to unfettered abortion access, compromising patient safety, and enabling abuse from a profit-driven abortion industry.

Patient Trust: Patients rely on healthcare providers to act in their best interests. The repeal undermines the emotional, physical, and psychological well-being of patients.

Healthcare Disparities: Vulnerable populations, including women facing crisis pregnancies, may now encounter disparities in access to comprehensive healthcare. The repeal disproportionately affects those who lack resources or face socioeconomic challenges by pushing abortion as a 'band-aid' solution.

NAPN Board Member and Communications Director Felipe Avila, issued the following statement on behalf of the association:

"The repeal of Arizona's pro-life law is a disheartening setback for patient care. By removing essential protections for women and their preborn children, we risk compromising the very principles that guide our profession. We urge Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs to consider the profound impact this decision will have on the lives of women and children. Healthcare should be rooted in compassion, respect, and genuine care of all people, not a discriminatory and arbitrary definition of when life begins."
