They blessed the facility. by Billy Hallowell
A group of 15 Christian ministers and rabbis came together outside of the Preterm clinic, where they conducted a blessing that was possibly the first-ever of its kind in Ohio, The Plain Dealer reported.
Joined by around 30 clinic staff and past patients, they sang together and offered support for the clinic and the women going in.
The gathering was organized by the Rev. Laura Young of the Ohio Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice, a pro-choice group.
Young, a United Methodist Minister, told the Plain Dealer that the gathering was put together because too many religious people are hurling shame and hate at women seeking abortion, when we should be offering compassion, care and spiritual healing.

You certainly hear of no blame toward them.

I was thinking the same thing.
