Why We Proclaim "Abortion is a Blessing": Context, History, Theology — Side With Love

by Rev. Ashley Horan, Organizing Strategy Director for Side With Love, Unitarian Universalist Association

Side With Love

#SideWithLove, a public advocacy campaign sponsored by the #UnitarianUniversalist Association, presents "#30DaysOfLove" each year between MLK Day and Valentine's Day.

We are now in the third week of these 30 days. In the second week, I was asked to offer a #prayer for that week's theme embracing #embodiment, #LGBTQIA+ rights, #gender rights, and #ReproductiveRights.

I haven't been active online much lately, but I thought I would share that prayer here:

@igd_news as a Unitarian Universalist minister, I've experienced how common it is for our congregations to be targeted by hate groups. And we will not let those with hate and maleficence in their hearts win! #UnitarianUniversalism #SideWithLove #NoMoreNazis https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/local/2022/12/03/royal-oak-school-drag-storytime-canceled-proud-boys-protest-columbus/69691753007/
Drag storytime organizers, police offer different explanations amid Proud Boys protest

Organizers of the canceled drag storytime event said Columbus police "offered nothing" when they reached out with concerns about Proud Boy protests.

I feel inspired! I am on an international Zoom call right now to discuss the Action of Immediate Witness (AIW) on UU's "Solidarity Now with Indigenous Water Protectors" that was passed at the beginning of the summer at UUA's General Assembly. The AIW is here: https://www.uua.org/action/statements/we-are-all-related-solidarity-now-indigenous-water-protectors

We Are All Related: Solidarity NOW with Indigenous Water Protectors

We, the 57th General Assembly of the UUA, which is meeting in Kansas City on the banks of the Missouri River, call for ongoing solidarity with Indigenous Water Protectors because: Indigenous peoples of this continent lived by traditions that maintained ecological balance for thousands of years before colonization.
