Decision
Because she was pregnant but still in college and unmarried, Marnie decided to have an abortion and afterwards she felt relieved. Marnie got pregnant because she was a promiscuous girl who had a number of different boyfriends. As a result, she did not know who the father of the child was and even if she did would not have wanted to marry him. For Marnie, child rearing was an important event that depended on a strong stable home environment. Marnie planned on having children later in life when her career was stable and so was her home life: when she was married. Until then, Marnie would remain single and vowed to herself to go back on the pill. Moreover, Marnie was still in college and only in her sophomore year. Being in college meant several things: she was broke, she was busy maintaining her grades; and she had no time to deal with anything else but her schoolwork. Being broke meant that Marnie could never afford to have a child at this point in her life, even if she decided to carry it to term. The doctor's visits would cost too much, and she had no system of support that would allow her to raise a children while attending school. Furthermore, Marnie was a good student whose grades depended on her being able to concentrate fully in class. She would not be able to maintain her grades if she were sidetracked by carrying a child. Dropping out was not an option for Marnie, who had strong ambitions to succeed in the working world. Marnie also had a busy schedule at school. If she were to carry the child to term would have no time for the wealth of volunteer work she performed for the school. She would also lose many of her friends because of her suddenly being thrust into motherhood. Finally, Marnie's decision to have an abortion came as a relief to her. Marnie knew that staying dedicated to schoolwork meant that she would some day have a solid career and a stable home life that would allow her to raise a family in peace. Marnie made a decision to have an abortion based on the fact that she was unmarried and still in college, and because she had an abortion she felt relieved.

Decisions by School Superintendents Improper Attitude and Unprofessional Conduct of Teachers To educate a person in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society - President Theodore Roosevelt.

Ethical Decision Nursing professionals have to make routine decisions bearing ethical principles and regulations in mind. Proper decision-making necessitates a grasp of the interface between nursing, laws, and ethics (Furlong, 2007, p. 29).

Culturally Sensitive Care: Caring for a Pregnant Woman who is a Lesbian Description I may have helped care for a number of pregnant lesbians, because I have certainly cared for unmarried mothers, but may not have been aware of that they were bisexual or lesbians.
