John,
After tens of thousands of us took to the streets for the Rally For Abortion Justice on October 2, Women's March is proud to be partnering with Auburn Seminary to host a conversation about an important topic: Faith and abortion.
Together, we'll gather virtually to have a conversation with diverse spiritual leaders across multiple faith traditions and cultural groundings. We will be exploring two fundamental questions:
This conversation is urgent and necessary. Too often, abortion is challenged on the grounds of faith, while voices of faith and spirit that support abortion care are unheard or ignored. On this call, we'll discuss the conversations about faith and abortion we know we need to have with our family and friends; the challenges such conversations bring up for us; and the successes as well as setbacks we’ve experienced when we’ve had such conversations.
As challenges to safe, affordable abortion care intensify across states and in the Supreme Court, we need to come together to change the narrative and empower difficult but essential conversations.
Panelists will be:
Noor Mir: organizer, facilitator and digital strategist for the Women’s March (Moderator)
Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg: Rabbi, widely published author and Scholar in Residence at the National Council for Jewish Women.
Kenyetta Chinwe, reproductive justice leader raised in the Pentecostal faith. She is the Faith Advocacy Coordinator at SisterSong.
Gina Breedlove, Medicine woman, sound healer, vocalist and composer, founder of Vibration of Grace, co-founder of rethinc, working with Auburn Seminary’s Sojourner Leadership Circle cohort of reproductive justice leaders.
Dr. Elizabeth Freese, Research Associate with Auburn Seminary and Adjunct Professor in Religion and Society at Drew University Theological School. Her work focuses on exploring ways to talk about abortion morality in liberal Christian faith communities.
Hope to see you on the call,
Women’s March
