[Lauren Morrissey @lmor16]

so my abortion support / doula training is youth focused and there are high school students presenting on organizing lessons I learned in college and I am in awe. LISTEN TO AND CENTER YOUTH IN REPRO we're doing this work FAR earlier in our lives because so MUCH is on the line.

@appalachiabelle this is one thing i do miss about repro, i love the big mad

Something tangible to do for families today instead of the so called schmarch schfor schlife 🔽🔽🔽

#FundWIC because it’s truly asinine that this is the first time in 25 years (aka my entire lifetime) that nutrition assistance for infants toddlers and new parents is under threat. we can’t let families go hungry!

[SojoAction @SojoAction]

Unless Congress takes action by January 19th #WIC will face a funding shortfall, which would lead to waitlists & benefit cuts. CALL your members of Congress to say "fully #fundWIC & invest in families!” https://t.co/lIHppFomVc

and yes i will get preachy about this: this is what happens when you dont force Catholicism/religion on your children and let them explore and decide for themselves, they become genuinely interested and intentional as adults

[Lauren Morrissey @lmor16]

hey #CatholicTwitter, my niece (15) is discerning baptism and joining the church, any age appropriate resources for discernment that aren’t misleading that you’d recommend to a teen in your life? (shes handling this so maturely and gracefully and I am s’proud🥹)

a lot of Catholics I know have been reeeeeeeeeeeaal silent especially now that the only Catholic Church is Gaza is rubble

Kate Cox and Brittney Watts have a lot in common. But it is their differences that resulted in one able to eventually access healthcare and the other charged with a felony 🧵

i also realize this is a hilarious question bc i rarely used my study bible at insert jesuit catholic university which, im sure MANY would have something snarky to say about but I am reading Catholic Women Preach’s Cycle B companion (thank you @CWP112716) hence, need bible.

[Lauren Morrissey @lmor16]

at the risk of sounding delulu at this hour but if you are/were raised Catholic and still study theology which bible translation do you use in your personal life and why

[Lauren Morrissey @lmor16]

i got rid of my nabre study bible from college a few years ago and i wish hadn’t (somehow i thought i wouldnt end up in faith based work but alas) so i am in the market for a new one

Minors have in fact been forced to go before judges to beg for their abortions for decades. So to say that this is the “first time a woman has had to go before a judge” means “woman” is doing a lot of work….
