Pastor at Greater Fairfax Missionary Baptist Church


“As a Progressive Baptist, the freedom to determine one’s own life path is central to my faith. Missouri’s abortion bans restrict this freedom by preventing pregnant people from making their own decisions about their bodies and lives in accordance with their faith. The abortion bans also codify a theological belief about conception that does not align with my religious beliefs. This an unconstitutional violation of the separation of church and state. No interpretation of the Bible or any other religious text should be enshrined into law or used to restrict the rights of all Missourians.”
