Episcopal Governing Board Opposes Curbs On Abortion
The Episcopal Church at its governing convention declared an unequivocal opposition to legislation restricting abortion rights. It condemned abortions for convenience, allowed abortion where the woman's health is at risk or in cases of rape, incest, or severe fetal deformity, and affirmed equal protection for homosexuals while rejecting blanket condemnation of abortion. The action aligns with broader debates amid U S politics and church debates on priesthood regularization.
