Episode 83: We Refuse, We Resist

We waited a month before sitting down to talk about the Supreme Court decision that the constitution does not confer a right to abortion. But now that some time has passed, Pastor Andrew expresses his feelings about this decision--morally, theologically, logically--and the steps Rutgers Church has taken to help out with this tragedy. Here's the statement released by Rutgers Church the week of the decision: Clergy of the Rutgers Presbyterian Church are without reservation PRO CHOICE! The supreme court's ruling which overturned half a century of reproductive autonomy (so called Roe v. Wade) will negatively affect the lives of millions of women and girls especially those in marginalized communities. We adamantly reject any notion that laws, courts, and judges should have power over the bodily autonomy of women. It is no one's right to limit and control a woman's personal and medical reproductive decisions. As people of faith, we must refuse and actively resist any attempts to use religion as a pretext for undermining and destroying fundamental human rights!
