Church backs family planning

Westminster United Church of Christ knows that decisions about children and families are some of life’s most profound and personal. Faith communities have supported Planned Parenthood for nearly 100 years because of their shared values: access to safe, affordable, nonjudgmental, high-quality health care for all regardless of income, race or religion.

Access to family planning is about far more than access to safe and legal abortion. Family planning is about young women’s freedom to choose their own lives. Safe and effective family planning is critical to building strong families.

Westminster UCC is working for just and compassionate laws for family planning, reproductive health and gender equality here in Spokane. We urge people to get the facts and support Planned Parenthood as together we create safe and healthy communities for our children.
