America’s Largest Nurses’ Union Calls on Congress to Legalize Abortion up Until Birth

National Nurses United, the largest nurses’ union in the United States, released a letter Tuesday endorsing legislation that would force all states to allow abortion at any point before birth.

The letter calls on senators to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act (WHPA), which would almost entirely prohibit states from regulating abortion. Critics of the bill have dubbed it the “Abortion on Demand Until Birth Act,” as it would make late-term abortions legal in every state.

Per recent polling, the vast majority of Americans would disagree with the WHPA’s policy implications. Seventy-two percent of Americans support banning abortion after 15 weeks, which would be illegal under the WHPA, and roughly half believe in banning abortion after six weeks. Only 10 percent of Americans support legalizing abortion up to birth.

Under the WHPA, in order for any regulation on abortion access to be legal, legislators would have to prove that the limitation both “significantly advances the safety of abortion services or the health of patients” and that “the safety of abortion services or the health of patients cannot be advanced by a less restrictive alternative measure.” (Read more from “America’s Largest Nurses’ Union Calls on Congress to Legalize Abortion up Until Birth” HERE)
