Episode 3.1: Faith Leaders Speak Up For Choice With Rev Katey Zeh
Across three segments—all guided by ordained faith leaders—we’ll shine a light on the patriarchal systems and colonialist histories that lead to trauma, abuse, and violations of the autonomy of pregnant people. We explore the supposed schism between spirituality and sexuality. And we discuss the role of clergy and share resources and advocacy tools for both clergy and members of faith communities.
In our first segment, we talk with Rev. Katey Zeh about her call to reproductive justice in seminary as a volunteer supporting people through their experiences at an abortion clinic. She opens up about her struggles with her own abortion stigma, as well as the political origins of the anti-abortion movement, the moral high ground that anti-choice groups falsely claim, and the harm caused by fake clinics. She also shares her work with RCRC supporting clergy to better serve pregnant people in their communities.
