Yeah, he’s been out of seminary for almost 10 years and it was clear that inclusivity was a big thing before he started. But I think there are a lot of things the Episcopal Church has been at the forefront of that the CoE hasn’t quite been ok with.

Revealing my church nerdiness (although I’m agnostic, I’m married to a clergyperson of the American form of this denomination): when my SO was in seminary there was a big push for gender inclusiveness in the liturgy, so instead of she or he, they just used God in place of any pronouns. It can get kind of weird…

Yes, yes, I have!!! OMG, I’ve never met anyone else with an appreciation for this movie. Wasn’t it River Phoenix’s last one?

No, they don’t.

One of my proudest PP moments was when I got the clinic to include Exhale information in the post op bags and and put their posters on the wall. I recently talked to someone who was the medical director at my PP a few years after I left and he assured me they still included the cards. I’d seen so many women waiting in…

I totally get the frustration (and I don’t work for them, although I do refer people to them), but their role is really not an advocacy one or policy changing one, it’s a listening one. They provide after abortion support for women who just want to talk to someone. Unfortunately, clinics, particularly those in states…

That I don’t know. They spent a great deal of money getting it TRAP compliant and all I’ve heard is how beautiful the facility is now. I don’t know if there is money to abandon the site and start from scratch with another one. My hope is that the senate won’t get to a vote on it, since we’ve only got like 3 days left.…

It’s the Huntsville clinic that’s being targeted, actually. I think they’re building a school within 2,000 feet.

I did my part with the babysitter yesterday (private school, but what are you gonna do?). Poor kid was asking me question after question because she knew nothing.

Ironic, because the CPC is also—of course—right next door to it, too. Not too good for their work!

What’d I miss? I was unconscious for a few moments because you mentioned sex education in schools and I passed out from the offensiveness.

I met with someone yesterday (I work in repro justice in Alabama) who is working in Arkansas as well as Alabama and Mississippi. I know y’all have it really shitty, too. Sending you supportive vibes, too!

Hmmm...the remaining one is across from a Chuck E Cheese, so that’s obviously out, too.

There was some debate on the floor yesterday over why it only covered public schools.

Actually, we’re down to 4 clinics. I read somewhere that if this passes and an injunction is not approved we’ll have 1. And if it’s the one I think it is they only do medicals up to 9 weeks.

I’m so sorry, but what a fantastic idea! I hope you’re only donating like $5 at a time. This could get really expensive...

Meanwhile, in Alabama...https://legiscan.com/AL/bill/HB527/… (Because the antis can’t control themselves and might go into schools near clinics).

There’s a story about Henry II doing something similar. I don’t even have a reaction beyond that. Like, you do you, dude. You do you.

I was the same way when I was a SAHM (~7 years). My husband used to joke that he’d have no idea about finances if something happened to me. Now that I’m working (although, I work from home and my daughter doesn’t think I get paid because I don’t leave the house that she can see) and traveling I make sure he knows how…

I had a conversation about this with someone the other day. I was telling them the story of what my husband’s first church went through when a parishioner transitioned. The person I was talking with is Unitarian and very involved with her church. We were one day removed from a seminar during which a lot was said about…
