Salon: Can the "religious left" save abortion rights from Republican hypocrisy?- June 18, 2020
Extensive coverage of PRA’s forthcoming report on Pro-Choice Religious organizing for reproductive justice and the May 14, 2020 colloquium.
“In the essay, Clarkson writes, ‘There is a vast prochoice religious community in the United States that could provide the moral, cultural, and political clout to reverse current antiabortion policy trends in the United States…. Taken together, they have vast resources, institutional capacity, historic and central roles in many towns and cities, and cadres of well-educated leaders at every level.’”
“This is not brand new, in historical terms. In his report, Clarkson cites the story of the Clergy Consultation Service on Abortion, the largest abortion referral service in pre-Roe America, with nearly 2,000 religious leaders involved.”
