Supportive Congregations
Too often, congregations – even progressive faith communities – are silent around reproductive health issues, especially abortion. This silence can make women reluctant to share their experiences or reach out for support, for fear of being shamed, judged, or stigmatized. It is deeply faithful for congregations to speak out in support of reproductive dignity, including abortion. To learn more about supportive congregations, click here.
