The research is expected to be a practical reference for sexual educator and researcher toward the issues of abortion. The researcher designed a questionnaire survey as the research method. All of the senior high school nursing teachers in Taiwan (N=454) defined as the research target population. This questionnaire divided into four parts. The first part involved 30 questions inquiring about participants’ bioethical attitude toward the issues of abortion. The second part focused on the recognition of the fetus as human life during different pregnancy stages, consisting of 3 items. The third part involved 27 questions inquiring the opinions about teaching content toward the issues of abortion in sexual education. The fourth part was about personal data, consisting of 18 items. The data collected were analyzed by descriptive statistics, one-way multivariate analysis of variance, cluster analysis and canonical correlation. 　 　　The research results are generalized as follows： 1.
