And so it begins. As Prof. Franke at @LawRtsReligion lifts up, Alabama is citing Dobbs to support blocking gender-affirming medical treatment because Dobbs overruled Lawrence’s underlying idea that “history and tradition” can’t be weaponized to hate a whole class of people.
Thank you for the shoutout and ongoing partnership @ArcusLGBT We are and will remain in this fight together.
In the months leading up to SCOTUS' decision reversing #RoeVWade, @ProteusFund's @RightsFaithDem convened organizations and leaders at the intersection of #LGBTQrights and #reproductivejustice to prepare for this moment.

Not all folks of faith are celebrating last Friday’s decision. In fact, there are folks of faith pushing back, fighting for abortion access.
The overturning of Roe is not a win for people of faith. Gather with us across faiths as we grieve, pray & create a space of spiritual support & sustenance in this difficult moment. We will make sense of the moment & prepare ourselves for the road ahead.

Please read our Call to Action to #philanthropy. To effectively combat religion's weaponization to eviscerate reproductive justice + queer rights, we must fund ACROSS movements and mitigate funder siloes. @ProteusFund we fund across movements, w/ powerful impact. cc @PiperFund

"There’s both a very rich history and current practice of folks seeing abortion care as a religious and moral calling" says @lizrplatt for @Deseret. Many religious groups and individual people of faith have shared their support for abortion rights: deseret.com/2022/5/14/230690…

Oral arguments began today for Kennedy v. Bremerton, a case about a public school coach who pressured students to pray. @adamliptak writes that the ruling could mark "a sea change in the court’s approach to the role religion may play in schools.” nytimes.com/2022/04/23/us/su…

Today in Minnesota, @ErinMayeQuade gave a convention speech while in active labor. And her opponent didn’t think to ask to postpone the convention as she, you know, had to go to the hospital to deliver her baby. What the hell.
