We've been saying this is what we have to look forward to under the most pro-abortion regime in American history. That is a mistake: it's really already happening as pro-abortionists are emboldened by their current In status:
NURSE 'FORCED' TO ABORT
Faith Objector Sues Mt. Sinai
By Kathianne Boniello

A Brooklyn nurse claims she was forced to choose between her religious
convictions and her job when Mount Sinai Hospital ordered her to assist
in a late-term abortion against her will.
SPOTLIGHT ON FED RULE SHIELDING 'CONSCIENCE' WORKERS
The hospital even exaggerated the patient's condition and claimed
the woman could die if the nurse, a devout Catholic, did not follow
orders, the nurse alleges in a lawsuit.
"It felt like a horror film unfolding," said Catherina
Cenzon-DeCarlo, 35, who claims she has had gruesome nightmares and
hasn't been able to sleep since the May 24 incident.
The married mother of a year-old baby was 30 minutes into her
early-morning shift when she realized she had been assigned to an
abortion. She begged her supervisor to find a replacement nurse for the
procedure. The hospital had a six-hour window to find a fill-in, the
suit says.
Bosses told the weeping Cenzon-DeCarlo the patient was 22 weeks
into her pregnancy and had preeclampsia, a condition marked by high
blood pressure that can lead to seizures or death if left untreated.
The supervisor "claimed that the mother could die if [Cenzon-DeCarlo] did not assist in the abortion."
But the nurse, the niece of a Filipino bishop, contends that the
patient's life was not in danger. She argued that the patient was not
even on magnesium therapy, a common treatment for preeclampsia, and did
not have problems indicating an emergency.
Her pleas were rejected, and instead she was threatened with
career-ending charges of insubordination and patient abandonment,
according to the lawsuit, filed Tuesday in Brooklyn federal court.
