More about this so-called “pastor”:

The Rev. Dr. Rebecca Todd Peters is Professor of Religious Studies and Director of the Poverty and Social Justice Program at Elon University.

Her work as a feminist social ethicist is focused on globalization, economic, environmental, and reproductive justice. Her first book, In Search of the Good Life: The Ethics of Globalization (Continuum, 2004), won the 2003 Trinity Book Prize and her second monograph, Solidarity Ethics: Transformation in a Globalized World, was published in January 2014 with Fortress Press. She has published 22 peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters and co-edited five books including Justice in a Global Economy: Strategies for Home, Community and World (Westminster/John Knox, 2006) and To Do Justice: A Guide for Progressive Christians (Westminster/John Knox, 2008). Her latest co-edited book Encountering the Sacred: Feminist Reflections on Women’s Lives was published with T & T Clark in 2018.

She is the past President of the American Academy of Religion, Southeast Region, was Elon University’s 2011-12 Distinguished Scholar, and currently holds a Senior Faculty Research Fellowship from Elon (2018-2020). She represents Elon on the Shepherd Higher Education Consortium on Poverty Council where she was elected to serve as the Chair of the SHECP Council and the SHECP Governing Board (2018-19). She is currently a Public Fellow with PRRI (Public Religion Research Institute) and in 2018 received the Walter Wink Scholar Activist award from Auburn Seminary.

Ordained in the Presbyterian Church (USA), she has been active denominationally and ecumenically for over twenty-five years and currently represents the PCUSA as a member of the Faith and Order Standing Commission of the World Council of Churches. She served as co-moderator of the Faith and Order study on Moral Discernment in the Churches and has also worked extensively on many justice initiatives of the WCC, including Alternative Globalization Addressing People and the Earth (AGAPE); Poverty, Wealth, and Ecology (PWE) and the Economy of Life program. In November 2017, she served as a consultant to the World Communion of Reformed Churches to plan and co-lead a Consultation on Human Sexuality.

She is a graduate of Rhodes College (B.A.), and Union Theological Seminary in New York (M.Div., Ph.D., Christian Social Ethics).

In her most recent book, Trust Women: A Progressive Christian Argument for Reproductive Justice (Beacon, 2018, distributed by Penguin/Random House), Peters outlines how the justification framework shaping current American discussion of abortion is fatally flawed and argues that the framework of Reproductive Justice offers a more ethically robust opportunity for public dialogue. Trust Women received the 2018 Indies Silver Award for Women’s Studies and the 2018 Nautilus Silver Award for Religion/Spirituality of Western Thought.

This woman could have written the book, "Never Give a Baby an Even Chance".
