How the New Wave Feminists are changing the conversation around abortion

In 2004, Destiny Herndon-De La Rosa founded New Wave Feminists, a
pro-life feminist organization dedicated to changing the divisive
language surrounding the abortion debate. New Wave works to give
women the support and resources needed to make motherhood a
feasible option. Destiny was inspired to form the pro-life feminist
organization by her own experience as a young mother. Destiny is
one of the few people who has attended the Women’s March and the
March for Life in the same weekend in good faith. (Two years ago,
Destiny and New Wave made headlines after they were removed as
sponsors of the Women’s March because they were pro-life, but
Destiny and her colleagues marched there anyway.) This week,
Destiny will be at the Women’s March and the March for Life yet
again. We talk to Destiny about her advocacy and how to create
dialogue within and outside the pro-life feminist movement. In
Signs of the Times, the president and the Catholic Church battle
over La Lomita Chapel on the U.S.-Mexico border. In sex abuse news,
the Northeast Province of the Jesuits release the names of all
clergy accused of sexual abuse since 1950. A new Gallup survey says
the crisis has led Catholics to lose faith in church leaders. We
remember the life of Bishop Joseph Howze, the first black bishop to
lead a U.S. diocese, who died at the age of 95 on Jan. 9. In
international news, a new art exhibit featuring a crucified Ronald
McDonald angers Christians in Israel. Finally, the Vatican
officially launches a new track team, which includes nuns, priests
and migrants. Feel free to send us your questions, concerns or
cocktail recipes to jesuitical@americamedia.rog, or join us for
discussion on Facebook and follow us on Twitter. Consider
supporting Jesuitical by becoming a member of our Patreon
community. Next week, we will be in Australia and you can follow
along on Patreon and social media! A special thanks this week to
