NWPC OC Luncheon 

With our Guest Speaker

Sister Donna Quinn, OP

 For decades, Sister Donna Quinn has championed the rights of women to use contraception, seek ordination and end unwanted pregnancies.

The Dominican nun has picketed for abortion rights in Washington, petitioned the pope for a female archbishop and escorted women into abortion clinics.

In 2009, Sister Donna was rebuked by her religious order, Sinsinawa Dominicans, for acting as a volunteer escort at a Chicago area clinic that, among other procedures, performed abortions.  Sister Donna was told that such actions were "in violation of her profession."

Sister Donna has suspended her activity, stating "I want to be clear that this is my decision.  Respect for women's moral agency is of critical importance to me, and I look forward to continuing to dialogue with our congregation on these matters as a way of informing my actions as well as educating the community."

NWPC OC is pleased to have this rare opportunity to have a conversation with Sister Donna Quinn, OP and invites you to join in that conversation.
