I also saw a lot of sneering “abortion isn’t healthcare it’s murder!”
On Nextdoor.
Seems like a crazy stance but priests and pastors are drilling it hard on sundays around here. [/quote]

Clergy should stay out of politics. Period. It's appalling to me that they are allowed to mix politics with religion. [/quote]

I respectfully disagree. Clergy— genuinely ethical and principled clergy worried about their congregations— were absolutely instrumental in helping women secure abortions before they were legal. The Chicago Jane network got numerous referrals from clergy and clergy (respected in a way women just weren’t) got up in front of state legislatures to advocate for abortion.

Yep. But people need to wisely choose their spiritual advisors. [/quote]

That’s totally true.

But anti-choice people wrap themselves in the blanket of “my pastor says” or “the bishops say” not realizing that within the lifetime of many people, clergy was working to secure abortion rights for women— even in the same denominations that shout about it now.
