In a move that has sparked outrage among pro-life advocates, a group of religious leaders, led by the Rev. Katey Zeh, conducted a blessing ceremony at the Women’s Health Center of Maryland, an abortion clinic in this small Appalachian town.
The event, organized by Zeh’s Religious Community for Reproductive Choice (RCRC), aimed to sanctify the abortion center that kills babies in abortions almost every day.
Zeh, a Baptist minister and Yale Divinity School graduate, walked through the abortion center’s halls with incense, offering prayers of protection. The ceremony included singing, dancing, poetry, and a sand-pouring ritual, with more than 30 participants, including local spiritual leaders and abortion workers.
Zeh and her colleagues framed the event as a counter to what they call religious stigma against abortion, asserting that supporting reproductive choice aligns with their faith.
The Women’s Health Center, open for just over a year, kills babies along with legitimate health care. Its sister abortion center in West Virginia ceased abortion after the 2022 Dobbs decision, which overturned Roe v. Wade, prompting the Maryland facility’s establishment to sell abortions to women in pro-life states.
