This can be a difficult issue to discuss especially when someone is being rude and out of line.   You are not a hypocrite and I'm proud that you are a strong religious advocate for sexual and reproductive health.   Stand strong!

Christar,

It seems like you are asking for some inspiration to allow you to feel good and proud of your advocacy beliefs and the things that you accept as truth.

You are super brave for looking out for help, and thank you for writing this! By asking the question that someone else may be too uncomfortable or nervous to put out there and ask, you did it and are helping many people. Thank you!

RCRC is SUPER great! You should definitely go to their website and check out their information. There is also Liberals Like Christ, which goes in detail about the pro-choice movement, as well as many other aspects of the more "liberal" side of politics, and how they are actually Christ-like. You can check out their website http://www.liberalslikechrist.org/, as well check out their article on why Christians should be pro-choice, and perhaps feel more comfortable and grounded in your identity as pro-choice and Christian here: http://www.liberalslikechrist.org/ChristianChoice.html

If you have anymore questions at a later date, and need information or resources about identity or about sexual health issues or about the theory and politics of it all, be sure to drop me a line at leah@mail.youthresource.com and I would love to speak with you. You can check out my profile in the Youth Resource peer educators section on the Youth Resource website http://www.youthresource.com. I work with many talented and intelligent individuals who would be more than happy, in fact probably quite excited, to communicate with you.

Peace,
Leah

Stay strong, Christar! I went to a Catholic high school and it was hard to be one of the few vocal pro-choice people there...especially when it's such a small community and everyone knows everyone else's business. But - you have every right to share your opinion! Keep up the amazing work!!
