Pro-life and abortion activists alike gathered outside the U.S. Supreme Court building today awaiting the hearing on an important abortion case out of Texas.
The U.S. Supreme Court case Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt was bought by abortion businesses against a pro-life Texas law responsible for closing abortion clinics that could not guarantee they could protect the health of Texas women. The law has been credited with saving the lives of more than 10,000 unborn children.
Among the pro-abortion speakers was the Rev. Debra Haffner, a Jewish Unitarian Universalist who “preached” in favor of abortion in front of the Supreme Court Building. Haffner is a former Planned Parenthood medical director and a pal of pro-abortion President Barack Obama.
She tweeted this morning:

Another abortion advocate claimed Haffner’s voice was one of the loudest in the crowd:
It’s interesting that Haffner referred to abortion as a moral decision because polling consistently shows that a majority of Americans believe abortion is morally wrong.
The stakes are high in the case. If the Supreme Court rules with abortion activists, common sense laws such as parental consent for minors and abortion clinic regulations could be wiped out, and full-fledged taxpayer funded abortions and partial-birth abortions could become common. Most Americans do not want to see these things come about, but these are the things abortion activists like Haffner are fighting for.
Unitarian The Church of Indecision
All sins are moral decisions.
“Do not murder.”
A fundamental difference.
She had the choice when she decided to screw the father.
Atheist.....that’s what that is.
Evidently working from a revision of the Ten Commandments which excised “Thou shalt not murder.”
She is a ASS.
Someone who knows better is welcome to correct me, but my understanding is that the difference between UUs and liberal reform Jews is basically that the UUs think Jesus was a good teacher, and reform Jews don’t. Don’t confuse UUs with Christians; they reject practically every Christian distinctive.
She is a member of the Unitarian Universalist Church, and believes in something or other that is acceptable to said church.
A liberal-marxist atheist. The 'Unitarian Church' is just a leftist social club.
Anything is acceptable to the UU "Church". You can declare publicly that you are an atheist, and they will happily accept you into their fold.
The funny thing is, you could technically call yourself "Jewish" and join the UU, but the reverse is not true. You couldn't practice the Jewish faith if you held some UU belief that we don't know if Old Testament is divinely inspired, or even IF there's a higher power in the universe.
Agree that this "minister" is most likely "Jewish" only in terms of ethnic ancestry. And no, that is not obvious from the article. A lot of people identify their religion as "Jewish", even if what they practice isn't actually Judaism.
Blasphemous and sick.
I have no idea what this is.
“I’m still trying to figure out what a ‘Jewish Unitarian Universalist’ is. Gold Star to the first FReeper who can tell me!”
Liberal.
You can send the gold star to:
Mr Rogers
Old Guy

Reform believe the Torah isn’t divine in the strictest sense. You can’t really make comparisons.
