Statement Opposing the Dismantling of Roe vs. Wade

The priestesses of Sophia Rising affirm the inherent right of all people who can become pregnant to access safe, affordable abortions in their own communities. We lament the possible stripping away of this right in the U.S. Constitution, and we mourn the key role Christian faith institutions have played in the devastating reality we now face. Sophia Rising will continue to hold space in the coming months for collective lament and collective action in support of reproductive justice. Check out the resources listed for ways to plug in to the resistance:

Jessica found grounding in sun, soil, and food as a young mother. Her past tracks through spiritual communities, but ordinary life in a blended family and tending relationships with backyard chickens and fruit trees illuminated her path. She loves her community orchard (The Orchard on Virginia) where she grows pawpaws, june berries, community, and stories. She also likes to share her gluten-free baking.
