Check out this event offered by our colleagues at Women’s Voices Raised for Social Justice & the National Council of Jewish Women St. Louis:
The Case for Reproductive Rights as Religious Freedom
Did you know that reproductive freedom is closely associated with religious freedom? This past January, a lawsuit was filed by Americans United for the Separation of Church and State and the National Women’s Law Center, on behalf of fourteen Missouri clergy from seven faith traditions. The lawsuit seeks to strike down Missouri’s abortion ban as a clear violation of the church-state separation provided in Missouri’s Constitution.
Americans United’s Brian Silva will discuss the current status of the lawsuit, and its religious freedom foundations. Some of the clergy plaintiffs, including Women’s Voices member Rev. Cindy Bumb, will also join us.
You won’t want to miss this timely presentation!
Speaker: Brian Silva, Vice President of Outreach and Engagement, Americans United for Separation of Church and State
