[Laura] Young and other religious leaders plan on blessing Preterm, a local abortion clinic in Cleveland, Ohio. While many states face contentious anti-abortion legislation, Ohio is especially threatened by measures that could\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2015\/05\/03\/ohio-abortion-clinics-clo_n_7199964.html\">shutter clinics<\/a>\u00a0and essentially \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/thinkprogress.org\/health\/2015\/06\/29\/3674322\/abortion-ohio-budget\/\">regulate abortion out of existence<\/a>,\u201d according to local reproductive rights advocates.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Preterm in Cleveland was the abortion clinic of choice for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cleveland19.com\/story\/25133698\/woman-dies-after-being-rushed-to-hospital-following-an-abortion\">22-year-old mother Lakisha Wilson<\/a>, who suffered a heart attack during her second trimester abortion (performed by Dr. Lisa Perriera) and subsequently died a week later.\u00a0\u00a0Preterm has a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.operationrescue.org\/?s=Preterm\">history of problems<\/a>, but just\u00a0this year at\u00a0least two of the patients there have been transported to hospitals by ambulance. Perhaps this is a\u00a0clinic that needs to be &#8216;shuttered&#8217; for the safety of women.<\/p>\n<p>And what&#8217;s the real point of this &#8220;blessing&#8221;?<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">The group hopes their blessing will protect the facility against the kind of abuse stemming from preachy protesters, as well as encourage the strength and bravery of those providing and relying on its services. If it\u2019s a success, Young said the group will go on to bless other state clinics.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Oddly, only in the realm of abortion does informing women\u00a0equate to &#8220;abuse.&#8221; And what\u00a0will Young use to determine\u00a0whether &#8220;blessing&#8221; an abortion clinic is a success? Will the\u00a0facility&#8217;s\u00a0abortion numbers increase? Will fewer protesters show up to &#8220;abuse&#8221; women with biological facts about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ehd.org\/science_main.php?level=i\">fetal development<\/a>?

Laura Young, celebrating Planned Parenthood&#8217;s &#8220;Pink Out Day&#8221; (via Think Progress\/JANINE DUNMYRE)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Pro-choicers are just so much more open-minded than those preachy pro-lifers, writes Zielinski:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">In Ohio, where Young serves as the Director of the Ohio Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice, progressive clergy are doing similar work. Young also spends her time answering calls on an \u201call-options\u201d counseling hotline run by clergy members. Unlike other\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/thinkprogress.org\/health\/2013\/11\/15\/2948781\/lies-cpc-week-action\/\">religious organizations that use the guise of counseling<\/a>\u00a0to discourage women from getting an abortion, this line is judgement-free. Women can call looking for spiritual counseling before and after they get an abortion (if they decide to) and will find general support \u2014 something often missing in a church setting.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ah, yes. Pro-life counseling is &#8216;fake&#8217; but counseling in support of abortion is legitimate. Perhaps if abortion clinics offered counseling for &#8220;all options,&#8221; these pro-choice clergy wouldn&#8217;t need to operate their own counseling hotline. And I wonder why &#8220;general support&#8221; for abortion is so &#8220;often missing in a church setting.&#8221; Hmm.<\/p>\n<p>According to these pro-choice clergy, God is in full support of whatever choices women make &#8211; including abortion:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u201cIt breaks my heart to know women are sitting in pews across the country feeling shamed, believing that they\u2019re cursed for making this decision,\u201d Young said. \u201cThat\u2019s a question I get a lot on the phone, \u2018Am I going to hell?\u2019 When God instead is there to support women through it all.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>That women sit in silent pain in churches breaks my heart, too. But there is an answer to this feeling of shame, and it isn&#8217;t in encouraging them\u00a0to feel that God approves of their abortions. Excuse me while I get religious for a moment:\u00a0When we sin, we\u00a0<em>should<\/em> feel ashamed &#8211; but Christ offers forgiveness! We <em>are<\/em> under a curse &#8211; but\u00a0Christ came to free us through His shed blood on the cross. \u00a0We <em>are<\/em> destined for hell &#8211; but again, Jesus Christ came to offer Himself as a ransom for us so that through Him, we might be saved. So <em>this<\/em> is the good news &#8211; forgiveness, hope and healing in Jesus Christ. It is not good news to say that &#8211; hey &#8211; whatever choice you make, God&#8217;s totally in support of that. Nowhere in Scripture do we see evidence of this, which causes me to wonder what kind of theology these pro-choice ministers have learned at seminary. God <em>cannot<\/em>\u00a0support our sin, including our choice to kill our offspring. But He is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bible.com\/bible\/111\/1jn.1.9.niv\">faithful to forgive<\/a> when we genuinely turn from our sin.<\/p>\n<p>Think Progress continues with the narrative about how &#8220;great&#8221; abortion is:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Molly Marvar, one of the many women who has had an abortion at the Preterm clinic, has been asked to share her story with those who come to witness the Thursday blessing. She called her 2012 procedure a great, caring experience and a privilege.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Molly &#8211; who is apparently a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pub\/molly-k-marvar\/a\/56a\/8b3\">holistic health and wellness advocate<\/a> &#8211; views the killing of her child as &#8220;great&#8221; and a &#8220;privilege.&#8221; We used to call this kind of thinking &#8216;disturbed.&#8217; Now it seems to be par for the course. Remember this the next time someone tells you that no one is actually &#8216;pro-abortion.&#8217;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u201cIt was a defining moment for me. But it doesn\u2019t define me,\u201d Marvar said. \u201cIt\u2019s really important to me that I speak up about my abortion to help other women.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>At least Marvar is correct\u00a0that killing one&#8217;s child can be a &#8220;defining moment&#8221;\u00a0&#8211; just probably not in the way she thinks it is.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Her experience also inspired her to fight the stigma around abortion by creating shirts artfully screenprinted with a red \u201cA,\u201d something she\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/proclaimyoura.com\/\">describes<\/a>\u00a0as a \u201cT-shirt campaign for abortion rights and awareness.\u201d Marvar sees Thursday\u2019s clinic blessing as another platform to help break the religious shame that\u2019s so often paired with abortions.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Shame knows no religion. Advertising a\u00a0past abortion by wearing\u00a0a giant &#8220;A&#8221; on one&#8217;s\u00a0chest\u00a0will likely do little to\u00a0remove the stigma of abortion, as <a href=\"http:\/\/newsbusters.org\/blogs\/katie-yoder\/2014\/11\/30\/media-adore-1-3-campaign-censor-women-who-regret-abortion\">similar efforts<\/a>\u00a0have shown\u00a0&#8211; possibly because our society (which some say is actually becoming\u00a0<em>less<\/em> religious) is already aware on some level that abortion kills a human, and being proud of that is&#8230; well, a bit warped, at the very least.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u201cThere is a reverence for life that happens in this clinic,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd the decision to get an abortion is often a really, really, spiritual decision. Even if someone personally wouldn\u2019t get an abortion, they should at least understand this.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Straight from\u00a0someone\u00a0who has had an abortion &#8211; it is a <em>spiritual<\/em> decision. Not just a medical procedure. Not just a &#8220;choice&#8221; like anything else. Not like having a <a href=\"http:\/\/newsbusters.org\/blogs\/kristine-marsh\/2014\/03\/18\/marcotte-compares-abortion-cavity-removal-calls-babies-time-sucking-\">cavity filled<\/a>.\u00a0It is a decision that can impact the rest of your life &#8211; because abortion\u00a0cannot erase pregnancy. There is <a href=\"\/news\/clinic-workers-tell-abortionists-ignore-berate-mock-patients\/\">no &#8220;reverence for life&#8221;<\/a> happening at abortion facilities. There is a disregard for it.<\/p>\n<p>Attempts to\u00a0&#8220;bless&#8221; a\u00a0place where children are killed and women are injured might make for good photo-ops and may assuage some consciences, but religious leaders\u00a0like Rev. Laura Young may one day find that they have caused great\u00a0injury to women and children &#8211; and to the name of Christ &#8211; by supporting and &#8220;blessing&#8221; abortion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At Think Progress, Alex Zielinski has written a glowing report\u00a0on clergy&#8217;s efforts to &#8220;bless&#8221;\u00a0an Ohio abortion clinic &#8211; more than a bit out of place in the pro-abortion news site&#8217;s &#8220;health&#8221; section.
