"Those of us who have worked in abortion care and the
couples and families who have come to us care deeply
about the work of the Missouri Religious Coalition for
Reproductive choice. When clergy come bless our
everyday path through the screaming protestors, it
reaffirms for us that our work is good and well worth
the hassles we encounter. The spiritual counseling and
publications you offer have many times given women their
religion back after it was stolen by someone who knew
them not."
