Methodist Pro-Life Leader Blasts UMC Conference’s Continued Ties to Pro-Abortion Religious Group | LifeSiteNews.com: The United Methodist Church General Conference 2012 ended May 4 with no change to the church’s association with a pro-abortion religious group, earning a sharp rebuke from Lifewatch president and editor Rev. Paul T. Stallsworth. A petition to end the church’s membership in the coalition passed a legislative committee and sub-committee, but was not given a floor vote.
The 12 million-member church is currently a member of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice, a self-described “leading religious voice for reproductive justice” founded in 1973 to “safeguard the newly-won” legal right to abortion. The RCRC trains and educates abortion advocates from many religious backgrounds. The United Methodists do not donate money to the organization, but their affiliation lends support to its mission statement, and several of the church’s board members attend RCRC meetings.
