I'm a Christian minister who's had 2 abortions. Here's how faith informed those decisions.

Not much offends me, but this woman does.
source, and more justification for abortion as birth control - [/https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinio ... =msedgntp]
First of all, I'm not OK with female preachers, but I guess if that's what they're called to do.... (although I have to wonder just WHO called, kwim?).
Secondly, There should only be a few valid reasons for an abortion, and those should be solely between the parents-to-be and the doctor. It should never be used for birth control, which is what this bench made it sound like. This reminds me of a transgender preacher, or a fag preacher - just simply not at all right with God.
I am not interested in debating abortion, I'm not going to change anyone else's mind, nor will I change mine. I am more focused on this woman being a minister and promoting abortion for whatever reason is convenient.

I am a Presbyterian minister, a Christian ethicist, a professor of religious studies, a wife and a mother of two.
I have also had two abortions.
I did not make my abortion decisions despite my Christian identity and faith, but rather because of it.
Christian values that support healthy and secure families also require careful, thoughtful and morally rich consideration about the decision to become a parent or not.
The fact that the social, physical and moral well-being of children is primarily the responsibility of parents meant that my husband and I thought carefully and deeply about our decisions to have and not have children.
And I can say, without a doubt, that the two decisions we made to have children were far more morally significant than the decisions to end two pregnancies.
