Progressive Pastor: "I Felt No Guilt, No Shame, No Sin" for Her Two Abortions
“I felt God’s presence with me as I made the decision to end two pregnancies,” said Rebecca Todd Peters, an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), during a July 9 homily on Psalm 139. “And I felt no guilt, no shame, no sin.” Psalm 139:13-14 says, “For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.” Yet in a message titled, “Reproductive Justice: Beyond the Abortion Imaginary,” Peters – clad in an a Planned Parenthood stole – argued these verses do not condemn abortion.
