Episcopal Pastor Is ‘Sad’ Her Daughters Might Not Have Access to Abortions One Day

The Rev. Suzanne Roberts is an Episcopal pastrix who works for the Episcopal Diocese of Maine, where she serves as the Transition and Deployment Officer.

During a sermon at the Cathedral of St. Luke (Episcopal) in Portland, ME, she preached on Reproductive Justice, encouraging women that sometimes the most loving thing to do is have an abortion, while lamenting that her daughters may not have the opportunity to abort their children one day, if that’s what they wish to do.

For far too long, clergy from Christian denominations that support reproductive rights have been silent, which has allowed the voices of people from denominations that oppose abortion to dominate the conversation.

This gives the false impression that all people who consider themselves to be Christian are against abortion. In fact, the Episcopal Church has long been in support of a woman’s right to make informed decisions concerning her body.

…And so today, I am saying this to women in our midst:the decision to terminate a pregnancy can be a moral and loving decision for yourself and for your family. You should not be made to feel shame if you have had an abortion.

…And I was fortunate enough to spend my entire 45 years of fertility covered by Roe v. Wade. It makes me sad to think that my daughters may not be able to take the availability of a safe and legal abortion for granted..

From FReeper Pookie18 in his Today's Toons this morning:

Oops, wrong thread! LOL

Maybe Suzanne could learn to perform them herself.

I dunno TIR, the way I see it this Priestess just might be at one of these protests.

[Da Coyote]

I remember when the Pope was Catholic and Episcopals were still mostly Christian.

[MayflowerMadam]

Episcopal = “J.V. Catholic”, according to a friend I used to work with. IDK if true.

[chopperk]

Runaway from this church, it believes in murder of defenseless children.

[stockpirate]

Murdering in the name of Cjrist

The Episcopalians have gone down the Universalist Unitarian road.

Reminds me of this Babylon Bee about Boeing where they took a shot at the Methodists:

This evil woman has NO business whatsoever calling herself a servant of God!

[irishjuggler]

With apologies for my Episcopalian friends, if in 2026 you’re still attending Episcopalian Church USA, admit it... you’re either a leftist, an idiot or both.

Along with sexual sin.

Because women’s full personhood can only be affirmed if mothers are licensed to kill their children. Thus saith the modern Episcopal Church, formerly known as Christian.

No baby ever chose an abortion. No mother ever aborted herself (or if they do, we call is “suicide”).

Abortion is always the killing of another person for the convenience of another.

Fathers, of course, do not have a similar license. It’s murder if a father kills the unborn child.

[T.B. Yoits]

Exodus 21:22-25
22 If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
23 And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

Jeremiah 1:5
God to Jeremiah: "Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you."

This woman claims she is of God but instead laments that her daughters would not choose to destroy what God formed.

[Morgana]

At this point, both.

That church is so far gone.

[Organic Panic]

“Reproductive Justice”

Satan pours honey in the ears and makes everything evil sound so good and pure. Who could be against “Justice?”

[Organic Panic]

“Rev. Suzanne Roberts is an Episcopal pastrix”

There’s the problem right there.

[Islander7]

Oh, Suzanne, if only your mother had exercised that option!
