Medical students too are against abortion. A trend to which the “Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists” responded by including the practice of abortion in the compulsory curriculum for graduating in medicine, thus hoping to increase the number of doctors who will be willing to perform abortion. According to Josephine Quintavalle from the pro-life association “Alive and Kicking”, this is a wrong hope because "the reason why students and doctors are conscientious objectors is that the number of abortions performed for social reasons is rising all the time”. According to Martin Foley of "Life" association, "there are doctors who oppose to abortion on request”. Ian Jessiman, from the “Guild of Catholic doctors”, stated that "for a long time there has a been an anti-abortion movement within the medical profession. This is an interesting development". According to Paul Danone, the right to conscientious objection should also be given to people working in education and nursing. "I hope we will see a mass movement of doctors, nurses and teachers who will refuse to cooperate with abortion”. According to Josephine Quintavalle, "the United Kingdom is aware by now that there are too many abortions. We should join forces to make abortion scarce”.
