Nurse forced to participate in abortion has nightmares about body parts

In November 2017, three nurses spoke at a press conference in favor of the Conscience Protection Act, which will soon be voted on in Congress. If passed, the Conscience Protection Act would prevent pro-life nurses and other medical workers from being forced to assist with abortion. The law would forbid hospitals, doctor’s offices, and other health care centers from firing employees who refuse to help kill preborn babies.

Nurse Cathy DeCarlo is a devout Catholic whose faith inspired her to choose a career in nursing in order to help people. The same faith leads her to view human life as sacred and oppose killing preborn children. She says:

When DeCarlo accepted a job at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, the hospital administration promised her she would never have to assist with abortions. However, just five years after she began working at Mount Sinai, she was order to help abort a 22-week-old preborn baby.

Not only was DeCarlo threatened with the loss of her job if she refused to help abort the baby, she was told she would lose her nursing license as well. The hospital threatened to charge her with insubordination and patient abandonment and take disciplinary action. This would have meant the end of her career as a nurse. DeCarlo tried to assert her right to conscientiously object, but her supervisor refused to listen. Faced with the loss of a career that she loved and her ability to help other patients, DeCarlo succumbed to the pressure and helped with the abortion. Her job was to count the body parts and make sure all pieces of the baby had been aborted.

The abortion was done by D&E. In a D&E abortion, the abortionist dismembers the baby with forceps, pulling the child apart piece by piece. After extracting the arms, legs, torso, and organs, the abortionist crushes the baby’s skull and removes it. In the video below, former abortionist Dr. Anthony Levatino explains the procedure:

DeCarlo sobbed while describing what she witnessed during the abortion:

At 22 weeks, the baby was likely to have experienced pain during  the dismemberment. He or she was fully formed, with every organ and body system present.

Another nurse who spoke in favor of  the Conscience Protection Act was Fe Vinoya. Vinoya was one of 12 nurses at the University Hospital in New Jersey who were threatened with losing their jobs if they did not help commit abortions. Vinoya says:

The third nurse to speak, Sandra Mendoza, lost her job at the Winnebago County Health Department in Illinois when she refused to assist with abortions. Mendoza had worked for the health department for 18 years, but was dismissed when she would not violate her conscience by taking part in an abortion procedure.

These nurses were put in a position that no medical professional should be forced into: having to choose between their careers and helping to kill a developing human being.

The actual text of the Conscience Protection Act, which was introduced in the House on January 24, 2017, is:

If the bill passes, nurses like Mendoza, Vinoya, and DeCarlo will no longer be coerced into helping with abortions.
