Hear What This Pro-Choice Actress Said About Her Abortion?

In typical Hollywood fashion, a pro-choice actress has claimed her views on abortion and Christianity go hand in hand — suggesting the pro-life crowd has “stolen” the Christian identity.

Actress Amy Brenneman, star of the HBO show “The Leftovers,” describes her church’s philosophy on the “moral agency of women” as a mother’s right to keep or kill her baby — or to “decide what’s right for her fetus,” in Brenneman’s words.

"In my church, we are prayerfully pro-choice, which means that we believe in the moral agency of women," Brenneman, 52, said in a video created by the "Lives of Women" series. "I think a woman's moral agency means that she has autonomy over herself to decide what is right for her body and decide what's right for her fetus."

After becoming pregnant in college, Brenneman had an abortion at age 21. She has publicly detailed her abortion and claims to have no regrets about ending the pregnancy.

Her choice: to murder her own flesh and blood, God’s youngest and most innocent of creations. She is CHOOSING the Satanic way with abortion.

I wonder if they ever decide that the mother dies and the baby lives

I guess she thinks another person’s life (not her own, of course) is like soup, as in “no soup for you!”

Moral linguistic gymnastics. Anything to conjure up a justification.

"In my church, we are prayerfully pro-choice..."

Imagine yourself explaining that sentence when you stand up in front of God...

In her church she is lead astray, she just does not know this.

[[”In my church, we are prayerfully pro-choice, which means that we believe in the moral agency of women,”]]

In other words- they believe themselves morally superior to God, and as gods themselves they get to decide what is moral and what isn’t

Matthew 7:21-23N

21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven... 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

"Moral agency of women" ?

What if the baby in the womb is female? I guess her moral agency doesn't count!

And this woman’s church is... what?

Had to go looking for that, although I could have guessed.

Episcopalian. From Connecticut. Married in her backyard, not in the church.

One of her children is named Bodhi.

Church as social club. “Spiritual but not religious.”

Certainly not Christian.

The remnants of the State Church against which so many colonials railed. Is the Roman Catholic Church still interested in communion with the Church Of England, by the way? That’s the progenitor of this church, and it’s just as bad. The only remotely orthodox Christians remaining in her are the Anglicans, in Africa and a small remnant in the US. The Africans need to regard their fallen English and American brothers and sisters as a missionary field. They seriously do.

She should have listened to Jackson Browne's Ready Or Not.

Pro-abortiin katholyk Nuns on the Bus use this argument—abortion should be legal because women have “moral agency.” Of course, this is an argument against the existence of ANY law whatsoever.

And people say they cannot imagine the blessed in heaven taking delight in the torments of the damned. I can. I just have to think about pro-abortion “nuns.”

Well, she can take that up with God who said, “Thou shalt not murder*.

It just shows that denial can last a long time.
