Katey Zeh told abortion facility workers. According to the article, <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/planned-parenthood-new-clergy-advocacy-board-members\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zeh<\/a> is part of an organization called Religious Community for Reproductive Choice (formerly Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice). Since at least 2017, it has &#8220;blessed&#8221; 10 abortion facilities in an effort to give a religious sanction to the killing of preborn children. Zeh was also named to the clergy board at Planned Parenthood Federation of America in 2021, though it is unclear if she is still a member.<\/p>\n<p>Also interviewed for the article was the Rev. Jim Lewis, an 89-year-old pastor who has been helping women access abortion since before <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em>. Lewis claimed that the church is called to minister to the &#8220;people outcast&#8221; \u2014 meaning he should help women access abortion. \u201cWe had a serious repression of the real gospel message that looks after people who are being beaten up,\u201d he said of the time before <em>Roe v.

According to its website, Women&#8217;s Health MD commits abortions up to 16 weeks of pregnancy. At this stage, the preborn child is killed via the dilation and evacuation (D&amp;E) procedure, in which he is brutally ripped apart limb by limb. Numerous studies have shown that the child can very likely <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/pro-abortion-researcher-preborn-pain-earlier\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">feel the pain<\/a> of being dismembered.<\/p>\n<p>It is true that women seeking abortion need help and support, but true help and support would enable them to choose life for their children, not kill them. Ministries like pregnancy resource centers and other similar organizations offer such assistance. Despite the attempt of these religious leaders to somehow sanction the shedding of innocent blood, true religion upholds the beauty and dignity of <em>every<\/em> human life, born and preborn.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/end-taxpayer-dollars-to-planned-parenthood\/\"><b><i>Tell President Trump, RFK, Jr., Elon, and Vivek:<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/end-taxpayer-dollars-to-planned-parenthood\/\"><b><i>Stop killing America\u2019s future.
