An example of a call to dialog can be found in this article in Nursing Outlook by Martsolf, Tollefson, and Curlin and the dialog that followed in subsequent issues. https://www.nursingoutlook.org/article/S0029-6554(24)00200-8/fulltext  

HIGHLIGHTS

•Many nursing organizations assert that “abortion is healthcare.”

•Such a phrase makes clear claims about the meanings of “health” and “care.”

•Defining healthcare gives decisive direction to how a nurse must practice.

•Healthcare is either for (a) bodily well-functioning, (b) well-being, (c) liberation.

•Definitions of healthcare lead to different understandings of the scope of nursing.
