As a pro-choice minister, I get a lot of heat from those who believe abortion is equivalent with murder. But the truth is that most Christians in America (despite the teachings of some religious groups) are in favor of providing women with a full range of reproductive options. Most mainline denominations (United Methodist Church, United Church of Christ, Episcopal Church USA, etc.) have taken official pro-choice stances.
Being pro-choice is a position fully consistent with Christian ethics.
But well funded (and sometimes well intentioned) organizations and political groups will do anything to make access to abortion illegal.
So how do the remaining 2008 presidential candidates stack-up on issues related to abortion and sex education? Where do Obama, Clinton, McCain, Romney and Huckabee come down on the issues?
Find out on the website of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice.
I urge you to vote for candidates that believe women and their doctors should be making medical decisions - not politicians and interest groups. Don't let the Religious Right and their allies stack the courts any longer with anti-choice judges.
