Group has faith in women’s choice

This story is disgusting, and an outright disobedience of what the Bible clearly teaches (Pro-Life!)

If you are Pro-Choice, read these two links below, and turn your heart over to Jesus as Lord! It is not your choice, it is God's choice. Saying, "No Lord, I will not have this baby whom You are forming inside my womb!", is the biggest oxymoron there is. How can you say, "No Lord"? Then He is not your Lord!

Group has faith in women’s choice

By ANNIE NELSON of the Tribune’s staff

Local and state clergy involved in the Missouri Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice say making abortion illegal again in Missouri would return the state to the days when women with unwanted pregnancies suffered mutilation in pursuit of what the group sees as a God-given right of controlling your own procreation.

Rabbi Susan Talve of St. Louis made the tough decision to go on record about the abortion she had when she was 19 years old because she is terrified that either the state or federal government will outlaw access to first-term abortions.

"I was in love, and the first time I had sex, I used contraception, and I got pregnant," she said. "I have to tell you how grateful I was that that was the year that New York made it legal to have a legal, safe abortion. … I had friends who tried to use coat hangers or threw themselves down steps."

Talve said many women come to her for counsel from faiths that prohibit abortion, even when the pregnancy is jeopardizing their life. The Catholic faith requires the mother and child be treated together, whereas the Jewish faith requires the pregnancy be terminated if the mother’s life is in danger, she said.

No decision to have an abortion is ever without pain, she said, and she still thinks of her decision to end her first pregnancy. "I have no doubt I made the right decision, even though it was difficult," she said.

It’s a right Talve said she will go to prison to defend.

She helped found two state affiliates of the national Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice and is being honored by the Missouri coalition with a Faith and Freedom Award in April.
