“It’s astounding that such an individual could be ordained in any professing Christian denomination which gives you an idea of far the Episcopal church has strayed from sound doctrine. The idea that a baby in the womb is not a person is clearly refuted by this verse:

Jeremiah 1:5

 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” Admin

 

The National Abortion Federation (NAF) has announced that its board has appointed Katherine Hancock Ragsdale, a lesbian Episcopal priest, to serve as its president and CEO.

 

“Abortion providers are some of my personal heroes and modern-day saints,” she said in a statement. “It is an honor to be able to serve and support NAF members as they provide compassionate health care amid increasing attacks and challenges.”

 

Ragsdale had served as the dean of the Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, Massachusetts from 2009 to 2015, and was a priest at St. David’s Episcopal Church in Pepperell until taking the position at the seminary. She was a member of the board of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice for 17 years, and currently sits on the board of NARAL Pro-Choice America.

 

Ragsdale had served as interim president of NAF since September 2018 and has long been an outspoken supporter of abortion “rights.”
