To Offer Compassion: A History of the Clergy Consultation Service on Abortion

Autor Doris Andrea Dirks, Patricia A. Relf
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 iul 2019
In 1967, when abortion was either illegal or highly restricted in every U.S. state, a group of ministers and rabbis founded the Clergy Consultation Service on Abortion (CSS) to counsel women with unwanted pregnancies—including referral to licensed physicians willing to perform the procedure. By the time Roe v. Wade made abortion legal nationwide in 1973, CCS had grown into a surprisingly outspoken national medical consumer and women’s rights advocacy group. To Offer Compassion offers a detailed history of this unique and largely forgotten movement, drawing on extensive interviews with original participants and on primary documents from the CCS’s operations.

Recenzii

“To Offer Compassion provides a glimpse of a rare moment in American history when Christian ministers and Jewish rabbis were at the forefront of the campaign for abortion rights. . . . [Dirks and Relf] were able to capture a vanishing—and for some, nearly forgotten—moment in the history of liberal religious abortion rights activism.”—Church History

“Timely and the message is on point.”—Faith Matters
