On this 51st Anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we share an important reminder from UUA President, the Rev. SofΓa Betancourt, PhD. to βtake a moment to remember and recommit to the ongoing work of gender justice, bodily autonomy, and reproductive justice.β

Unitarians and Universalists have been working to protect access to abortion services, as an intentional and faithful practice, at least since the 1960s. I am proud and grateful to inherit a theological legacy rooted in bodily autonomy and the belief that all people are inherently worthy.
It was not until 2015 that we as Unitarian Universalists formally acknowledged and committed to following the leadership and experience of communities of color in this work. In our 2015 UUA Statement of Conscience, we honor these leaders and commit to supporting the liberation of people of all genders, sexual orientations, abilities, gender identities, ages, classes, and cultural and racial identities.
On this 51st anniversary of Roe v. Wade, when we no longer have federally protected access to abortion, I invite you to take a moment to remember and recommit to the ongoing work of gender justice, bodily autonomy, and reproductive justice.
