Our First Principle affirms and promotes the inherent worth and dignity of each human being. The Unitarian Universalist commitment to the worth and dignity of every human being calls us to respect the autonomy of women and men in determining their own healthcare choices and decisions. In light of the Supreme Court decision on Roe v. Wade, Rev. Gaye asks us to think about how countercultural the First Principle might be seen because of it.
