Catholic Higher Education and Student Formation in a Post-Roe World: A Modest Proposal for Women’s Personhood and Reproductive Autonomy
Abstrak
Student formation is a key missional goal for Catholic colleges and universities. In many instances this involves requiring coursework in theology and ethics that exposes students to the essentials of the tradition and key themes of Christian life such as vocation, marriage, family, work, and society. And yet, historically we fail to consider the changing landscape of life in community, especially for women and other gender minorities. The personhood of women and reproductive autonomy, both topics that have been tangled in the culture war of the abortion debate, is a particular challenge to the goal of formation. The US Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade provides a fresh opportunity to examine how we might better attend to student formation in ways that more accurately and faithfully incorporate women’s personhood and reproductive autonomy.
