The Episcopal church's stance on the overturning of Roe

4. Glad to hear that they will be reading it in church.

The Lutheran and Presbyterian churches hold the same view. I have not yet seen or heard comments from them on the overturning of Roe.

I remember long ago when the court ruled against required Bible reading and any other required religious observances in public schools. In PA, where I lived, it was state law for public school teachers to start each day by reading a chapter of the King James Bible. I was 13 at the time of the court decision. Our pastor's sermon that Sunday agreed with the court. He said that it was the responsibility of parents and their religious leaders, not the schools, to teach religion to their children. It was the only way to preserve religious freedom for everyone.

It is the same with abortion, contraception, and other religious doctrines. Those whose beliefs do not allow abortion are free to follow those beliefs. They do not have to have abortions. But they have no right to impose those beliefs on others.
