Pro-Choice Religious Leaders Focus on Abortion and Religion

    Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice at the Democratic National

Convention



    WASHINGTON, Aug. 21 /EMWNews/ -- RCRC -- the Religious

Coalition for Reproductive Choice -- will hold two events at the Democratic

National Convention to highlight abortion and other reproductive rights

issues in the campaign. RCRC's president, The Reverend Dr. Carlton W.

Veazey, will speak at the events and is also available for media

interviews. RCRC is the national coalition of religious denominations and

agencies that are pro-choice, including the United Methodist Church, the

Episcopal Church, Presbyterian Church (USA), United Church of Christ,

Unitarian Universalists, Catholics for Choice and the Reform, Conservative

and Reconstructionist movements of Judaism.



    Reverend Veazey will discuss how religion shapes candidates' views on

access to abortion, comprehensive sexuality education, and family planning.

"The press and some politicians present the public with a misleading view:

either religious and pro-life OR secular and pro-choice. But the positions

of both Senator Obama and Senator McCain are more complex than that," said

Reverend Veazey.



    The RCRC events are:
