A Religious Response to the Overturning of Roe v. Wade

With its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, issued in June of this year, the new conservative majority on the Supreme Court deleted with one stroke–and perhaps for the first time in the Court’s history–a fundamental Constitutional guarantee that had been the law of the land for 50 years. The guarantee was that, at least during the early stages of pregnancy, neither the states nor the federal government could interfere with a woman’s right to make her own decision about whether to bear a child or not. In the post-Dobbs world, governments at both the state and federal level may now intrude upon that personal and private sphere and, in so doing, may now, in effect, control a woman’s destiny.. This Sunday we will explore how people of liberal religious faith might respond to the Dobbs decision’s curtailment of women’s status as free and equal members of American society. A discussion about this service will follow at noon in the Parlor and will be accessible to virtual attendees via the Virtual Social Hour Zoom link: www.tinyurl.com/wusworship
