A group of 44 Religious Left officials has released a statement calling for continued federal funding for Planned Parenthood, the largest provider of abortions in the United States.
The statement, which is signed by several denominational heads and liberal caucus groups within the oldline Protestant churches, coincides with the appearance of Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards on Capitol Hill… Richards will be testifying before a U.S. House of Representatives committee as part of the on-going investigations into Planned Parenthood’s alleged harvesting and sale of organs from the bodies of aborted children…
The statement notably avoids direct mention of abortion and only indirectly refers to the Center for Medical Progress undercover videos that went viral this summer. The videos show Planned Parenthood officials negotiating the sale of organs and include graphic footage of children’s bodies harvested for tissue.
Among the more prominent signatories calling for continued federal funding of Planned Parenthood are United Church of Christ General Minister and President John C. Dorhauer, Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) General Minister and President Sharon E. Watkins, Unitarian Universalist Association President Peter Morales and Metropolitan Community Churches Moderator Nancy Wilson.
Dissident Roman Catholic officials also signed the statement, including Catholics for Choice President Jon O’Brien, Call To Action Executive Director Jim FitzGerald and Sister Jeannine Gramick, National Coordinator of the National Coalition of American Nuns.
Officials from several oldine Protestant-affiliated institutions and caucuses are also represented, including Dr. Miguel A. De La Torre of United Methodist-affiliated Iliff School of Theology, Methodist Federation for Social Action Executive Director Chett Pritchett, Episcopal Women’s Caucus Co-Convener Pamela Kandt and More Light Presbyterians Executive Director Alex Patchin McNeill…
