Resources
for congregations counseling and supporting pregnant women
facing difficult circumstances
Compiled in response to Overture 2004-10,
Item 11-02: On
Urging Churches to Affirm in Their Ministries the Protection
of Babies in the Womb Who are Viable
The 216th General Assembly (2004) of the
Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) directed the Moderator of
the 216th General Assembly (2004) and the Stated Clerk to
send a pastoral letter to congregations
on the issue of problem pregnancy. Accompanying this letter,
we have posted four pamphlets consistent with the policies
of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), published by Women's
Ministries, National
Ministries Division:
The Statement
on Post-Viability and Late-Term Abortion, approved
by the 215th
General Assembly (2003), is the most recent statement
of the church's reproductive health policy.
