Radical pro-abortion advocates interrupted service on Sunday at Pastor Joel Osteen’s Houston church, stripping down to their underwear and unimaginatively shouting, “My body, my choice!”
“My body, my f***ing choice,” one blonde protester with the Austin-based group “Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights” shouted right after Osteen finished leading a prayer and congregants began to take their seats at Lakewood Church. She quickly stood up in the church while stripping off her dress, exposing her underwear in a calculated move obviously intended to shock attendees, according to a video that went viral on Sunday.
“Overturn Roe, hell no,” another activist railed as she stripped down as well to a white sports bra with green hand prints on it and waved a green bandana, which is the color representing the pro-choice movement. Three women protested by stripping down to their underwear in the Texas mega-church, according to Chron.
The women were escorted out of the church and the pastor continued his sermon as if nothing had happened which was cheered and applauded by congregants. The protesters continued to make a spectacle outside and were joined by a dozen or so other activists in their pro-abortion fervor.

Wow 😯 some people don’t respect house of God at all.

Whatever respect anyone had left for you, you lost it standing up in the House of God and behaving like spoiled children. You and your cause were a conversation subject for about 5 minutes, I guarantee. Your objective was not met.

“Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights” has vigorously condemned the potential overturning of the landmark abortion case Roe vs. Wade by the Supreme Court.
“I know it seems very outrageous to do it in a church in a private space,” activist Julianne D’Eredita told KPRC 2 concerning the protest inside the church. “However, the people that are enforcing these laws have no qualms coming up to women in private spaces such as doctors’ offices and medical clinics to harass them and call them murderers.”
“Christians are not afraid to bother us at health care clinics, at doctors’ offices [where we’re] trying to get essential health care so why the f**k wouldn’t we bother you in your own home where the laws are coming from,” one of the women who continued their protest outside Lakewood Church raged according to the New York Post.
Remember when she was a kid & you were calling her my little innocent princess ? ; She grew up now to be stripping in church!; and for what!

I think you failed to realize that most, if not all, were clapping because they were kicking you out of their Church.

The pro-abortion advocates reportedly held up green banners that read, “Forced motherhood is female enslavement” and “Abortion on demand & without apology.”
The viral video of the scene the protesters made on Sunday has been viewed thousands of times.
“Joel Osteen has an international audience and silence is violence when it comes to things like these,” D’Eredita contended. “We have a very unprecedented and very short amount of time to garner the attention that we need to get millions of people on the streets, millions of people doing actions like we were today.”
The Supreme Court has yet to hand down its final ruling on Roe vs. Wade. It is expected any day now.
