By now, most of us in the Philly area following the dialogue around reproductive justice — abortion access specifically — have probably read about the most recent “incident” downtown. State Rep. Brian Sims recorded a video of himself speaking to protesters outside a Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania on Holy Thursday, recorded another video in early May, and later took to Twitter.
[S]omething Sims said particularly sparked my interest both as an abortion doula — someone who supports pregnant people before, during, and after the decision and process to terminate a pregnancy — and as a candidate for ordination in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
When I met the authors of The Doulas: Radical Care for Pregnant People, I told them I was a doula who planned to attend seminary very soon. One of them said: “Wow, this is necessary work. People frequently ask for chaplains during surgical abortions.”
People of faith, this is how we show up. We are called to be in community with those on the margins, including those seeking abortions. Connect with your local clinic to volunteer. Learn the differences among types of abortions and the out-of-pocket costs for each. Help patients raise money to fund their abortion where Medicaid does not pay for this procedure. Call people in your faith community to babysit the children of those who are going to the clinic for the second time because they had to wait 24 hours to get their medication or have their procedure. Offer to drive someone to their appointment and sit in the waiting room, because often times partners, spouses, or other support people cannot take off work for multiple appointments.

So why would anyone bother attending something like the woefully misnamed Evangelical Lutheran Church??? You could save your money and spend it on abortions!
What can pro-choice people of faith do to support abortion rights?

She’s talking about when a queer elected official verbally assaulted an elderly woman quietly praying outside an abortion site.
Some people did something.
I only feel sorry for her kids. They have a freak for a mom.
Learn the definition of "Cognitive Dissonance"...
The witches, warlocks and demons used to disguise themselves when they entered a church to destroy it. Now they walk through the front door in full mockery. I pray for this woman’s soul.
I am against abortion in this sense: doctors should not be given a license to kill. It has nothing to do with what a woman chooses to do with her own body.
Well, Satanism is a “faith”, technically.
Can’t be a Christian and be for abortion, its like trying to say evil is condoned as Christ said its better to have a millstone around your neck at the bottom of the sea than to harm a child...
Lesbian seminarian works to assist in the killing innocent unborn children.
And writes to the newspaper to brag about it.
“Reproductive Justice.” What a crock. I recommend reading the first chapter of Thomas Sowell’s book “The Quest for Cosmic Justice.” I would probably recommend reading the entire book, but Amazon has not met their delivery deadline and I will have to wait until tomorrow to read anymore than the free preview available on Amazon.
“Justice” must first be defined before any discussion of how to administer it may begin. But as with many moral and ethical matters, the left has simply redefined the terms so that their insane and illogical arguments have unearned merit.
Going to go out on a limb here, I suspect that she was not a victim of abortion and if she had been, would not feel the same.
You can’t go wrong by praying.
How about quit lying about being a Christian?
What you do to the least of these my little ones, you do unto Me. - Jesus Christ
This is a sick ###@
Repent! And publicly denounce the murder of innocent unborn babies.
Read the Bible and fully understand the 10 commandments.
Open your hearts for the victims (human beings) that suffer and die from abortions.
Luther is rolling over in his grave. To think this apostate body of Fake Christians continues to label themselves as “evangelical” and “Lutheran” is a satanic lie. No one who proudly supports and defends the murder of God’s babies will see Heaven. As the Bible says, “For you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.”
"pro-choice people of faith" - an oxymoron - they don't exist; those that claim this can get an early start and GO TO HELL!
Note the moniker of “people of faith” and not “Christians”. Because there is no room for a Christian to support abortion.
