Rebecca Todd Peters is a professor, author, and Presbyterian Church (USA) ‘Pastor.’ She has been “active denominationally and ecumenically for over twenty-five years.” She represents the PCUSA as a member of the Faith and Order Standing Commission of the World Council of Churches.
A lover of all things baby-killing, she also serves on the Clergy Advocacy Board of Planned Parenthood and was recently elected Vice President of the Society of Christian Ethics.
It’s unsurprising then that she’s celebrated and tolerated within her denomination. The PCUSA has denigrated to one massive pen for goats, run by spiritual criminals and hirelings, with barely a sheep to be found anywhere. From Church Fasting from ‘Whiteness’ During Lent to Church Releases ‘Transgendered’ Remix of ‘Be Thou My Vision,’ to Pro-Abortion Pastrix Says Stories of Jonah and Zacchaeus are Proof We Should Subsidize Birth-Control, this pro-LGBTQIA&$#@!, pro-abortion cauldron of wokeness and deviant perversion runs neck in neck with the ELCA in a contest to see which denomination hates Jesus more, and they usually come on top.
In a recent sermon preached to The Community Church of Chapel Hill Unitarian Universalist in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, wearing a pink stole emblazoned with a Planned Parenthood logo, Peters raged against the “talking fetuses, aggressive bumper stickers and saccharine billboards quoting Scripture and invoking God’s wrath” and lamented that pro-life Christians have gained ground in the culture war in the language around abortion so that even unbelievers view it as a bad thing or “difficult choice.”
Arguing that bible verses like Psalms 139 (For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made) have nothing to say about abortion, Peters shares her disgust that Christians try to use it in that way, saying “I refuse to cede the sacredness of Scripture or its interpretation to those who would wield it as a weapon.”
Then, she shockingly concludes:
I, too, feel that I am known by God in these ways, as a woman who has borne two children. I can affirm that I felt something sacred happening in my gestating body during those pregnancies. I can also attest that I felt God’s presence with me as I made the decision to end two pregnancies and I felt no guilt, no shame, no sin.”
Fake. I refuse to believe any self-respecting male would even contemplate mating with this woman. “Be gone. I never knew you.”
“Note that she was speaking at a Unitarian “church”, an organization that stands for nothing and falls for everything.”
The PCUSA is an Apostate denomination as well. If this woman owns a Bible, I would recommend that she reads Revelation 3.
I don’t think “she’s” even a woman!
May “she” burn in hell!
I agree.
From a Q&A ---
"A: “I had two abortions,” and she now has two children. “Those decisions to have two children are far more morally important decisions than the decisions to not continue pregnancies. I made those decisions; my husband I made those decisions, both of them, together. I think those decisions are private and personal for everyone, and nobody should have to share those personal experiences.

That's why I am selling books and my speaking engagements because "those decisions are private and personal for everyone, and nobody should have to share those personal experiences," unless you can make a career and a boatload of money doing it.
One learns that she is a professor at a small North Carolina university which is officially "Nonsectarian, historic ties with the United Church of Christ (Wiki)."
She is Professor of Religious Studies and Founding Director of the Poverty and Social Justice Program at Elon University. The small university has six 'colleges,' none of them theological. Elon College, the College of Arts and Sciences, Martha and Spencer Love School of Business, School of Communications, School of Law, School of Health Sciences and Dr. Jo Watts Williams School of Education.
The website representing her work details that 62% of women having abortions are "Christian." This means that 62% of the women having abortions are depleting the Christian population thereby. Such is "suffer, the little children..."

A simple demographic fact as one considers the other stories about loss in attendance at churches. Aborting pregnancies, in a single congregation, would give that "church" a diminishing base and short life as a "church." This suggests that such a "church" would have evangelize among pregnant women who wanted to abort. Imagine the Sunday school gatherings.... Small, and then finally empty. Amen, ah women.
That’s right.
I seriously doubt it. I hope God never lets her have children again! May her womb be closed and her days cut drastically short!
Indeed.
Having served in the armed forces for over twenty years (before retiring), I can assure you that although everyone has “standards” the standards of some are exceptionally low.
She’s confusing some things here. She sure didn’t feel the presence of the Holy Spirit. She’s gone way beyond treading thin ice.

I’m not sure being in the clergy has anything to do with her twisted psychopathy. I wonder if she thinks getting randomly knocked up was wrong? And how often is she getting smashed without getting pregnant? And what else should her parishioners know about her?
I grew up Presbyterian but am no longer in that fold. The breakaway PCA did that in 1973 so the PCUSA has had issues for a long time now. I imagine the version of it today makes the 1973 one seem pale in comparison.
Thanks for the overview, laconic. That is appalling. Very interesting tracing the problem back to the Vietnam era.
Before that, was Presbyterianism more akin to other Protestant faiths?
Well I guess she showed God.
She’s a psychopathic killer is what she is telling us and proud of it.
“It seems more like defiant overcompensation.”
... the seed of which likely comes from arrogance and pride.
The Presbyterian Church (USA), abbreviated PC (USA), is a mainline Protestant denomination in the United States. It is the largest Presbyterian denomination in the country, known for its liberal stance on doctrine and its ordaining of women and members of the LGBT community as elders and ministers. The Presbyterian Church (USA) was established with the 1983 merger of the Presbyterian Church in the United States, whose churches were located in the Southern and border states, with the United Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, whose congregations could be found in every state.

A product of protestant heresy and following human beliefs and not God’s Truth.
Perhaps she should read Matthew 7: 13-14 so that she may find the narrow gate.
Her followers should read Matthew 7: 15-20 about Christ’s warning to beware of false prophets ... and that you will know them by their fruits.
May God give them the graces to know, understand and live God’s Truth.
“...one massive pen for goats, run by spiritual criminals and hirelings, with barely a sheep to be found anywhere.” Very well said. The pastor is skilled at avoiding reality.
