Just a couple Roman Catholic Woman Priests road tripping to The Women’s Ordination Conference’s 50th Anniversary! We’re coming in from across the country with amazing Catholics for more history in the making. Follow #WOC50 #OrdainWomen #Catholic @ordainwomen.bsky.social
Two women smiling in a car on a sunny day. The passenger on the left has dark brown hair, wears aviator sunglasses and a Boston University t-shirt, and takes the selfie. The driver on the right, a woman with short white hair and glasses, has one hand on the wheel and wears a blue plaid shirt. Both have seatbelts on. Flat, open landscape is visible through the windows. They are Roman Catholic Women Priests traveling to Detroit for the Women’s Ordination Conference 50th Anniversary.

Last weekend I preached in solidarity with the #CatholicWomenStrike, reminding myself (and maybe you, too) that lavish, collective love is our best antidote to quiet cruelty, especially the cruelty within.

I'm voting NO on the Republican shutdown bill. NO on handing Donald Trump and Elon Musk a blank check to spend your taxpayer money however they want. NO on cutting funding that helps families put food on the table and crack down on wealthy tax cheats. We need to push back.

Hoosier families are not ok. This article states one of the justifications for rolling back child labor laws is “parental rights.” Parental rights to what? To force kids to work? Note the U.S. is the only UN member who hasn’t ratified the 1989 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Human beings deserve human rights. All of them. Even ones whose governments and/or representative bodies commit atrocities. Even ones who--yes-- commit atrocities themselves. You don't lose your right to human rights, ever. That's why they're called inalienable human rights.

Pregnancy Justice @pregnancyjust.bsky.social · 23/01/2025
We knew they would take every opportunity to establish fetal personhood, and this is the first. An executive order attacking trans and nonbinary people is also an attack against pregnant people.
Executive order title adjusted to read: "Attacking women, trans folks, and anyone who can get pregnant and restoring control of people's bodies & reproduction to the federal government." 

Executive Order, January 20, 2025Executive order language: 
(d)  “Female” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell.
(e)  “Male” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the small reproductive cell.

Why include conception? 
It’s strategic. This is a chance to establish that fertilized eggs, embryos, and fetuses are people.

What does that mean?
If fetuses are people, there is a direct conflict between the rights of pregnant people and “unborn children.” 
It’s a way to impose government control over people’s bodies.

Why does it matter?
Fetal personhood leads to people being criminalized for actions during pregnancy, forced medical interventions during pregnancy, threats to IVF, abortion, and denying life-saving health care all to protect “fetal life.”
