Religious Community for Reproductive Choice

..and they're also parents, friends, neighbors, teachers, artists, caregivers, and more.

All are deserving of freedom, compassion, and community support. 🙏

As CEO Rev. Katey Zeh puts it, "We must reframe what it means to promote a culture of life."

Reproductive healthcare, accessible abortion, equitable maternal and perinatal care, support for parents and families—these are just a few of the building blocks needed for a society that truly supports thriving, and life.

What does religious liberty mean in a nation as diverse as ours?

Religious liberty is NOT the freedom of one tradition to impose its beliefs and practices on everyone else.

Instead, it’s the freedom for people of all (or no) faiths to live, worship, question, and build families according to their own conscience.

This , we’re sharing quotes from the "Religious Liberty for All" report, created by and partners, that lifts up diverse voices affirming a vision of true religious liberty rooted in pluralism, equality, and the dream of American democracy.

Religious freedom belongs to all of us.

As this year’s comes to a close, we’re lifting up the truth that families have never been one-size-fits-all.

Across cultures, faith traditions, and history, family units have been formed through love, commitment, care, and community. LGBTQ+ families have always been part of that sacred tapestry.

That’s why attacks on LGBTQ+ rights, abortion, IVF, and gender-affirming care are connected—they are attempts to narrowly define what family looks like and who is permitted (or forced) to create one.

We believe every person has the divinely-given freedom to build the family and future that is right for them. That’s why reproductive rights are also LGBQT+ rights.

We celebrate the q***r communities who have shaped this movement and continue to remind us that justice must include everyone. 💜🏳️‍🌈

For many people, an abortion experience is shared with a partner, spouse, family member, or chosen loved one who walks alongside them with compassion and support. But partners often need care and guidance, too.

This , we’re honoring the people who accompany their partners across the spectrum of family-building decisions and sharing a new resource designed to help them navigate the abortion journey with their loved one.

💜 Check out our newly added “For Partners” tag on AbortionsWelcome.Org.

Today we celebrate the freedom won by Black communities and recognize the ongoing work that takes place to protect it.

At RCRC, we believe reproductive freedom is inseparable from racial justice. We remain committed to realizing a future where everyone can access the care and resources they need to shape their own life.

Today, and every day, we honor the Black faith leaders, ancestors, activists, and community members who continue the sacred work of building a more just world for all of us.

Happy Juneteenth! ✨

We just added a new and special entry to AbortionsWelcome.Org: a blessing for those who must end a *wanted* pregnancy.

You can find this and other multi-faith and spiritual resources to support mental, emotional, and spiritual health throughout the abortion process. Link in our bio!

“In the eyes of many, I am an anomaly or maybe even an oxymoron: an ordained Baptist minister advocating for abortion access. Aren’t these two things fundamentally opposed? That perception reveals the extraordinary power of white Christian nationalism to shape public understanding of what Christianity is, who gets to claim it, and what it represents politically."

We recently visited to speak with Rabbi about the intersection of religious and reproductive freedom, and the opportunity that faith communities have to advocate in this space.

Together, Rev. and Rabbi Fixler broke down the history of white Christian nationalism in politics, the role that the anti-abortion platform has played in building its voting coalition, and the devastating consequences it's wrought on American legislation and lives.

Rev. Zeh asks what it would mean to “reclaim our ability to make reproductive decisions as more than a legal right [but rather] something divinely given that cannot truly be taken from us?” This is a stance that Jewish advocates have long asserting—that abortion access is essential for both reproductive freedom AND religious freedom.
