Announcement
Next Thursday there will be a public forum led by Daniel Maguire and Gloria Feldt on the religious and civil right to abortion from 7-8:30 p.m. at Trinity United Methodist Church (600 East 50th Street, between Martin and Evans, back in my old stomping grounds.) Daniel Maguire is a professor of ethics in the Theology Department at Marquette University and is the author of Sacred Choices: The Right to Abortion and Contraception in Ten World Religions. Dr. Maguire is also the President of the Religious Consultation on Population, Reproductive Health and Ethics. Gloria Feldt is the President of Planned Parenthood of America and, as was emphasized in the mail I got about this event, a native Texan!
I’m probably the only person who thinks that’s really funny.
