From a proabortion clergy member:
“Clearly, giving a woman the right to abortion is a compassionate stand, and anytime compassion rules over judgment, we see the kingdom of God.
I can’t get any of these Bible thumping, antiabortion people to show me any place at all scripture where Jesus ever says, “You made your bed, now lie in it. Too bad…”
I see Jesus as being outrageously gracious, outrageously forgiving. If Jesus were right here today, I think he would say, “I’m sad that anyone has to have an abortion. I’m sad that has to be a choice. But you’ve been created as human beings… You’re going to make mistakes. Yes, I do value life, I do value babies, but I don’t use babies for punishment.”
The Rev. Christine Gimbol
Quoted in Anna Bonavoglia The Choices We Made: 25 Women and Men Speak out about Abortion (New York: Random House, 1991)87
Is it any wonder I can find stories from Christian women who have said they have had abortions?
Seriously who are these clergy/preachers/reverends?
They are leading the flock to hell or am I the only one who sees that?

No further explanation is needed.
Delusional.

Well that good in that it told me nothing. What church is she over? Anyone here know?
I was referring to the fact that the good Reverand is a female. That is where your problems begin. It tells you a lot about her mindset and the “church’s” adherence, or lack thereof, to scripture.
Being female has nothing to do with her ability to learn scripture. Mother Angelica learned it quite well and is very pro life. With that said why can’t this woman? Why can’t most protestant female pastors? What is their deal?
This so-called minister may have received her Doctor of Divinity Degree from Cambridge Theological Seminary International. It is a mail order “free degree” outfit.
“It is a mail order “free degree” outfit.”
You are pulling my chain!! Really?
So “compassion” means murdering an unborn human is OK? This “human” is not human.
I didn’t say that women are incapable of learning scriptures.
I’ll have to read that in the morning. Too much for this late at night.
“Bible-thumping” is often uttered by those with no understanding of the Bible whatsoever.
Another false minister who wants more human sacrifice.
You are right and it is beyond my ability to comprehend this as well. But, as much as this is so painful for us to watch and hear these false preachers speak these outrages against the one whose name we hear, you have to rejoice that the Holy Spirit is working on them. You must conclude that as a fact or these people wouldn’t be so loudly trying to convince others of their innocence. Their conscience is telling them otherwise.
I will say though I am sick to death of the defenders of abortion abomination trying so hard lately to paint this in a softer light as some sort of moral choice one can make. Sickening and mostly for them. Hopefully their conscience will not be seared and they will at some point walk back to the light. So very sad they exist in darkness and say its good
Thou shalt not kill.
Not to mention that the murder of innocents is beyond any justification whether or not you've ever read the Bible....or at least it should be.
It seems as if this minister received her theological degree without reading one word from the Bible. A diploma mill comes to mind. For further reading on these phony diploma mills, go here:

The "go thou and sin no more" part is also problematic for someone who is actually encouraging people to commit an atrocity.

I can show him:
You shall not murder. Exodus 20:13
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. Psalm 139:13
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
