Long ago, I knew a very nice elderly gent who used to participate in an Underground Railroad scheme for women in need of a safe abortion. He was an Episcopal priest — a retired bishop when I met him, long after Roe was settled and that part of his work was over.
I once wrote an impassioned letter to the editor during one of the national “pro-life” upheavals, and it ended up as an op-ed placed next to a letter from the local Reformed Rabbi who was supporting choice just as I was. Oddly, the newspaper editors chose to place a shattered cross in the middle of the page to represent religious controversies on the matter. Odd because neither of us was or is Christian, him being Jewish and me being a Unitarian Universalist with pagan affiliations.
So: Episcopal Church, Reformed Jews, Unitarian Universalist, and that’s just the start of the list. Buddhists also have thoughts on the subject: Modern sages have generally come down on the side of the mother’s well-being. Being religious people, prayer or deep thought or meditation comes into the picture at some point — but not censure.
There are more religious groups that are our allies than you know.
Stay away from the Evangelicals and Southern Baptists — but you knew that already.
You’re seemingly having a good time slinging around the words “Satanic Temple,” perhaps expecting to get a rise out of people here, but if you do that in Texas in conjunction with the work that is ahead, you might just get a woman killed instead.
Have you considered looking up Starhawk, perhaps?
