The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Fullerton (UUCF) hosted a Cabaret for Reproductive Justice on the evenings of March 22 and 23 as a fundraiser for Planned Parenthood. Local playwrights Chance Vernon and Christina Garner debuted two theater pieces at the cabaret, and talented musicians from the congregation joined them.

The first play, “Annunciation,” authentically captured women’s reactions to the results of their pregnancy tests at a free clinic in the 1980s.

The second play, “Ladies’ Night at Pippi’s Place,” was an irreverent comedy featuring a host of female archetypes gathered at the Spring Equinox to reflect on the joys and sorrows of motherhood.

Since the Supreme Court Dobbs decision in 2022, UUCF’s Social Action Committee has included reproductive justice as one of its many forms of community outreach. The congregation has raised over $12,000 to support travel expenses for women who need reproductive health care that is not available in their home state.
