Since she was familiar with the hospital’s routines and the staff, she was always asked by the nursing supervisor to work in those patient care areas short on nursing staff for that particular shift. One day she was asked to work in the recovery room, and later on asked to report into A-4 which is the suite of rooms where elective abortions were usually performed, but Mrs. Perez was a devout Catholic , and she considered abortion the killing of human life and a mortal sin. And since there was no one else she had no chance but to agreed with the arrangement as long as the supervisor would send another nurse to replace her. After preparing the equipment and the room, she had to look after the doctor’s patient who was 16 years old , un- married, and was approximately 8 weeks pregnant. She told the doctor that his patient is ready , but she refused not to participate in the proceedings.
