She believed her partner would not be a suitable parent; their relationship ended soon after the abortion. Already solely responsible for her daughter, Anne knew she could not complete Divinity School and pursue a career as a priest if she did not have an abortion. She has never regretted her decision and is grateful that she did not have to travel far, which would have caused her additional stress and financial hardship while she cared for her young daughter.
The brief goes on to list Fowlers accomplishments, which, she said, would never have been possible if she had not aborted her second child though she never acknowledged that it was a child. Fowler currently is a chaplain for Planned Parenthood.
So, the sacrifice of her child was necessary to allow all the good that Fowler has done since?
I guess the Episcopalian Bibles don't have the commandment from God "Thou shall not kill(murder)."
Her whole justification is a lie from the pit of Hell.
The followers of Moloch and Baal had nothing on these modern day justifiers of baby sacrifice.
When my son, Justin, came along, the doctors braced us for the possibility of severe genetic abnormalities and a life full of challenges. It didn't matter. We were prepared to sell everything and start over, if that was what our children needed.
Thankfully, my son came out perfect, healthy and whole. My daughter is also healthy and whole. I'm the super-proud mom of 3 amazingly bright, good-looking, multi-talented kids.
Life was a nightmarish struggle for a decade; sweating every bill, selling off possessions to keep the roof over our head, watching as God stripped away the trappings till only the truly valuable things remained.
Fowler and her ilk would be shocked to discover my career didn't suffer in the least. When my family needed it, I took a position that allowed me to work from home, completely rocked it, and earned multiple national awards. As we cleared financial hurdles and the kids got older, I took a different position and rocked that, too. I went from Executive Director in the non-profit world to Vice President in the property management world. We just bought our dream home in a stunning community with some of the best-rated schools in north Texas.
Nowhere, in any of this, did I ever think it was okay to destroy the lives God had entrusted to me. Never did I think my "career" was more important than the souls God allowed me to care for. Never would I think that God, the Giver of Life, the One who knew us before He knit us in the womb, would be okay with me voluntarily ending any of my pregnancies. That was not my choice to make, but His!
Creatures like this are the reason why I will NEVER go to a church with a woman pastor, and I'm a woman!
Check out how she talks about her childhood, marriage, child re: her old parish. BTW, where is the daughter that lived? http://telling-secrets.blogspot.com/2007/03/jerusalem-jerusalem.html

SUMNER HILLAnne Fowler, who has been at the helm of St. Johns Episcopal Church at 1 Roanoke Ave. for two decades and was part of the effort to legalize gay marriage in the state, stepped away as rector last month.
I have loved my years here, and leave this very special community with profound sorrow, gratitude and love, said Fowler, who is retiring at the same time as her husband Sam Allen, a professor at MIT.

Strange, I haven’t found one photo with her husband and/or daughter. Maybe I have to search Planned Parenthood or gay marriage to get her with them. /s
