WASHINGTON — Some United Methodist Church (UMC) groups are petitioning for the end of the relationship between the Church and pro-choice group Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice (RCRC).
The UMC annual conferences in Alabama-West Florida, Western Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Mississippi and Indiana are among those that have petitioned the Mainline Protestant denomination to end it’s ties with RCRC.
John Lomperis, UMC action director at the Institute on Religion & Democracy and an elected delegate for the 2016 UMC General Conference, is calling for the denomination to sever its ties with the abortion advocacy group that previously said it is opposed to any restrictions on abortion, including during the third trimester.
