...that the Women's March has a doctrinal statement?

I'm not particularly surprised, but I had not heard about it. It may be old news to many of you, but I read about it on Denny Burk's blog. He writes, "In advance of the march, the organizers published a doctrinal statement titled “Unity Principles.” Anyone who departed from the doctrinal statement was not allowed to “partner” with the march."

Here are the two that affect Christians:

REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS

We believe in Reproductive Freedom. We do not accept any federal, state or local rollbacks, cuts or restrictions on our ability to access quality reproductive healthcare services, birth control, HIV/AIDS care and prevention, or medically accurate sexuality education. This means open access to safe, legal, affordable abortion and birth control for all people, regardless of income, location or education.

LGBTQIA RIGHTS

We firmly declare that LGBTQIA Rights are Human Rights and that it is our obligation to uplift, expand and protect the rights of our gay, lesbian, bi, queer, trans or gender non-conforming brothers, sisters and siblings. We must have the power to control our bodies and be free from gender norms, expectations and stereotypes.

Annsi, I think those are the main ones, but I suspect they have a spin on all of them that might not be acceptable to moderate to conservative to fundamental Christian women.

In fact, I figure that the second sentence in the introductory paragraph could be rewritten to states:

"We must create a society in which women - including Black women, Native women, poor women, immigrant women, disabled women, Muslim women, lesbian queer and trans women - are free and able to care for and nurture their families, however they are formed, in safe and healthy environments free from structural impediments -- as long as they are not pro-life Christian women."
