FYI:

the Methodisit Church (of which I am a member) was one of the founding organizations of RCAR ("Religious Coalition of Abortion Rights"), now called the "Religious Coalition of Reproductive Choice" (RCRC); and

there is a pro-life organization within the Methodist denomination called "Lifewatch" (Lifewatch.org), of which I am a board member. Lifewatch gets no recognition, money, or support from the denomination, but we exist "to win the hearts and minds of United Methodists, and to engage in abortion-prevention through theological, pastoral, and social emphases that support human life."

In short, though this woman is a Methodist and works for Planned Parenthood, please know that not all Methodists share her opinion!!!

I admire your commitment.

I salute you for your advocacy, but I must chastize you for your ignorance of your own church.

Pull out the Methodist Books of Resolutions and Discipline sometime and read them. You'll be shocked at what you see. Officially the Methodist church is one of the most pro-abortion churches in America.

I was a Methodist. Two years ago, I read the Methodist Social Principles and then the Books of Resolutions and Discipline. I never went inside a Methodist church again.
