So, in this Reverend's mind, the most vile and morally bankrupt of crimes is OK, so long as committed in private?
These are not rleigious leaders.
What clergy? From where? Notice the vague names and non-affiliations for all these great clergy folk:
the Rev. Larry Phillips of Schenectady's Emmanuel-Friedens Church ...The minister has been affiliated with Planned Parenthood going back more than 30 years, Scharf said.
Really? Just out of the goodness of his heart, or is he a paid spokesman with a deceptive title? Where's his congregation? What affiliation are they? Why not state such?
The Rev. Abby Norton-Levering led the group in prayers for the center's doctors and staff.
Who's she? Church? Affiliation? Claim to fame? (mail-order ordination, perhaps?)
Rabbi Matt Cutler of Temple Gates of Heaven
Is this the name of a real congregation? Where? With which Jewish group is he affiliated?
The Rev. Bill Levering, senior pastor of First Reformed Church of Schenectady,
First Reformed Church of what? First Reformed Church of Whatever Rev. Bill Says It Is? What theology does he claim or is a member of?
I know a lot of otherwise Christian people misguidedly support the wholesale slaughter of babies in the womb, but I'm really sick of there being no questions asked of who these "clergy" are and where they're affiliated. Despite so much liberalism in mainstream churches, I find it hard to believe that very many "real" congregations are flocking around these so-called clergy.
Should be Gates of Hell. Burn, baby, burn, rabbit cutler.
"For the children of Judah have done that which is evil in my sight, saith Jehovah: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it. And they have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded not, neither came it into my mind." (Jer 7:30-31)
The Rev. Abby Norton-Levering led the group in prayers ....
The Rev. Bill Levering, senior pastor of First Reformed Church of Schenectady
Husband-and-wife mail-order reverends, perhaps? Gimme a break. This hullabaloo over "the clergy" who have "always supported" a woman's right to murder her child, is simply a pathetic attempt to bring respectibility to an atrocity.
Good catch. Check out the bio here:

Look towards the bottom in the "Family" section. There's the other "Reverend".
the devil’s blessing ain’t gonna do em any good.
PING!!!
Ichabod!!
Hmmm ... "gates of heaven" where have we heard that before ...
Could it be ... 
clergy blessed this city's new Planned Parenthood clinic in a ceremony dubbed "On Sacred Ground."
Moloch worship.
These are the neo-Malthusians who want to reduce earth’s human population to 200 million.
Back in the day, feminazis would say "If men had abortions they would make it a sacrament." Funny how things turn out.
“The Rev. Bill Levering, senior pastor of First Reformed Church of Schenectady, said the right to privacy is endowed by God.
“There are some decisions that are left to the individual. Even God respects the right of privacy. We make women into children when we say they cannot control their own bodies,” Levering said.”
What a crock. What God said (Exodus 21:22 - 23): “If men struggle with each other and strike a woman with child so that she gives birth prematurely, yet there is no injury, he shall surely be fined as the woman’s husband may demand of him, and he shall pay as the judges decide. But if there is any further injury, then you shall appoint as a penalty life for life”
Bill Levering is deceived and deceiving. God is not mocked. Man is not God.
Proverbs 30:5 & 6: “Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.” Levering is a liar, as well.
Oh man that is tragic. How can we be so blind?
I doubt it’s the same group but may as well be!
And then he throws you into your own private hell.
Egad - that’s harsh. Or as it was written in John 6:
“53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?”
