Ethical Concerns in the Provision of Gynecological and Reproductive Care for Women with Developmental Disabilities A Nursing Perspective written by Catharine A. Kopac, Ph.D. and Joni Fritz, B.A.: This publication has been underwritten by the ANCOR Foundation and is offered to you at no cost through this collaboration. This monograph marks an interesting point for the investigators in over a decade of research supported in part by the American Network of Community Options and Resources. The inspiration for creating this monograph comes from the remarks of the nurse respondents themselves who so unselfishly gave their time to provide personal comments – sometimes quite lengthy – that illuminated their compassion, concern, frustrations and determination to empower the women who are in need of gynecological and reproductive health care.
