A Vision for Reproductive Justice that Considers The Role of the Religious Right
The Obama administration offers hope for a broader understanding of reproductive health and choice. President-elect Barack Obama is both pro-choice and a person of strong religious conviction, and RCRC will be in the forefront of advocacy for positive programs to support healthy and wanted pregnancies, expand healthcare, and strengthen families. RCRC is a coalition of many of the major denominations of mainline Protestantism (the Episcopal Church, the United Methodist Church, the United Church of Christ, the Presbyterian Church USA,) and major bodies and organizations of Judaism and Humanism, among others. So the vision expressed here is no small thing. This takes on additional significance, as elements of the Democratic Party are, in an effort to politically appeal to conservative evangelicals and Catholics, jettisoning or downplaying public support for reproductive justice, LGTBI civil rights and separation of church and state. RCRC is a significant voice for major mainstream religious communions, which I expect will be coming to grips with the challenges of our time in new ways. Indeed, Joan Brown Campbell, opens her introduction to Dispatches with quote from Abraham Heschel: "There is a time when silence is betrayal... that time is now."
