Dear Friends: On Sunday, December 4, 2022, at our regular Meeting for Worship for Business, Phoenix Monthly Meeting approved a minute on abortion.
A minuted approved by Phoenix Friends Meeting on December 4, 2022, after three months of deliberation.
I help people get abortions.
For me, this is not controversial work. Or tortured work. Or even particularly charitable work. It is spiritual work.
For most of my medical career, I worked in family planning, providing contraceptive care so that children could be planned, loved, and supported. I also performed abortions when contraception failed. For forty years, I have been supported in this work by my Quaker beliefs.
