additionally (pet peeve of my OB/GYN nurses) - Edit 2

Do not--I repeat--Do NOT explain how my reproductive system and birth control works to me as if you were speaking to an imbecile, multiple times, particularly after I tell you don't need you to explain to me because I've already been thoroughly educated on the subject.
It makes. me. hate. you.
Luckily, my actual gynecologist is fantastic.
In regards to abortion, I would say that a nurse, even for an OB/GYN has every right to disapprove of people's abortions. But I would agree that if they're going to work at an OB/GYN that performs them, they are obligated to at least remain polite. If it's that big a deal for them, they should go work for someone who does not perform abortions. Even if one was to assume that they were NOT obligated to be polite, I doubt their clinician would put up with such behavior for long if they ever became aware of it. People are uncomfortable enough going into the OB/GYN to begin with, particularly for an abortion. They don't need your rude treatment and it is not your place as a nurse to judge their actions. Not even medically.
