Reproductive and Religious Freedom: From Grassroots to Grasstops
Various faith traditions approach questions of healthcare, including reproductive care, differently. Patients should be free to make decisions based on their own beliefs and circumstances, not the religious views of their doctor or state legislators.

On Tuesday, June 14, Interfaith Alliance held a panel discussion with influential faith leaders and advocates on what the interfaith community can do to protect access to reproductive care in their communities as a matter of religious freedom.
