Catholics for Choice Brings Abortion Stories to the Vatican

Leave a comment


Below is a statement from Catholics for Choice President Jamie L. Manson, M.Div.:

“The Synod on Synodality promises to open up conversations about LGBTQIA+ inclusion, women’s ordination, church power structures, and more. But one important topic is conspicuously missing from the synod agenda — abortion — and it’s time the church reckons with the way we treat people who’ve had them. That’s why I brought this message to the Vatican by displaying a banner over the Tiber River and delivering a booklet of Catholic abortion stories to the synod office.

“This was not an act of protest, but rather, an act of what Pope Francis calls ‘encounter.’ He calls on us to lovingly engage with, listen to, and walk with each other across lines of difference — yet even in this historic synod gathering, where many ‘controversial’ issues are being discussed, the church is stifling conversations about abortion and refusing to listen to the stories of the faithful Catholics who have them.

“I unfurled the banner to remind church leaders that many faithful Catholics have had abortions — and will continue to do so. I wanted these Catholics to know that they have not been forgotten and that they too deserve to be heard and invited into conversation with church leaders.

“I processed to the synod office with Catholic abortion stories as an invitation to dialogue so that participants in the synod will understand these women are among us in the pews at Mass, volunteering in our parishes, and teaching in our Catholic classrooms. In fact, given statistics about how common abortion and birth control are, it’s very likely that that women participating in the synod themselves have used contraception, or perhaps even had an abortion.

“The abortion stories I delivered today are courageous, heartbreaking, empowering, and faithful — and they represent the stories of millions Catholics all around the world who receive abortion care. In the spirit of encounter, Pope Francis, the Vatican, and synod participants would do well to listen to them.”

Catholics for Choice shapes and advances sexual and reproductive ethics that are based on justice, reflect a commitment to a person’s well-being and respect, and affirm the capacity of all people to make moral decisions about their lives.

Eisenhower Fellowships hosts 70th Anniversary World Forum in San Francisco

Leave a comment


The forum, Leaders Confronting Global Challenges: What Works? will feature the rich multidisciplinary expertise of EF’s influential global network of leaders from business, government, civil society, technology, education, science, medicine, the arts and journalism. Panel discussions will explore vexing transnational issues ranging from climate change and regional peace and stability to income inequality and the promise and peril of AI and other technologies, with a focus on emerging solutions in various parts of the world that can be applied in other countries and regions.

The highlight of the two-day gathering will be the presentation of the Eisenhower Medal to Ms. French Gates by EF Chairman, Dr. Robert M. Gates, former U.S. secretary of defense on Friday, October 13, 2023 at the Herbst Theatre in the War Memorial Building, site of the signing of the United Nations charter in 1945.

As co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and founder of Pivotal Ventures, Ms. French Gates has dedicated her life’s work to fighting disease and inequity in the United States and around the world and getting more women into positions where they can make decisions, control resources and shape policies and perspectives.

Dr. Gates said Ms. French Gates embodies the values and vision of President Eisenhower and the distinguished independent, nonpartisan nonprofit international leadership organization created in his name.

“For more than two decades, Melinda French Gates has used her enormous influence as a businesswoman, philanthropist and global advocate to advance public health, champion global financial inclusion and inspire women and girls to spark meaningful change around the world,” Dr. Gates said.

“I’m honored to receive this recognition from an organization that promotes such an important vision of leadership, impact and community,” said Ms. French Gates. “From empowering businesswomen in Rwanda to supporting caregivers and children affected by crisis and conflict, the Eisenhower Fellows have set the highest standards of service.”

The Dwight D. Eisenhower Medal for Leadership and Service is awarded annually to a distinguished states person, business leader or other public figure who has achieved, through direct personal dialogue across borders, widely recognized advances toward President Eisenhower’s vision of a world more peaceful, prosperous and just.

Previous Eisenhower Medal winners include late U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright; General Colin L. Powell; U.S. Senators George Mitchell, Sam Nunn and John McCain; former Secretaries of State James A. Baker III and Henry Kissinger; Doctors Without Borders; former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman; Presidents George H. W. Bush and Gerald Ford; Washington Post Publisher Katherine Graham; Susan and David Eisenhower; and former Chilean President Michelle Bachelet; among others.

At the Awards Ceremony on October 13, Dr. Gates also will present the James and Carol Hovey EF Impact Award to Eisenhower Fellow Braimah Sulemana of Ghana for his groundbreaking investigative journalism of accountability in Ghana.

Sulemana was selected for EF’s new annual Impact Award to recognize an Eisenhower Fellow or group of Fellows for outstanding project achievement in generating positive impact. His winning project was the establishment of a regional independent nonprofit journalism organization, The Fourth Estate, that has exposed bad governance, official corruption and misappropriation of funds in the country.

Founded as a birthday present to President Eisenhower his first year in the White House, Eisenhower Fellowships brings together diverse, innovative leaders from all fields from around the globe who tackle some of the most pressing challenges of our time to better the world around them. Since its founding in 1953, more than 2,500 mid-career leaders from 119 countries have benefited from the unique, customized experience of an Eisenhower Fellowship.
