In marking the anniversary of the Supreme Court of the United States’ ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, Bishop Daniel Thomas, chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Pro-Life Activities, released a statement asking for the intercession of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in building a culture of life.
“The victory of the Dobbs decision risks being undone by the massive influx of abortion pills,” said Bishop Thomas. “While the Dobbs decision gave states the freedom to pass pro-life laws and protect preborn children, these laws are now being undermined. The Food and Drug Administration, a government agency responsible for protecting public health, has enabled a nationwide mail-order abortion industry by allowing abortion pills to be prescribed in telemed appointments and sold both at neighborhood pharmacies and online, circumventing state laws that protect life in the womb.”
From mid-August through the end of October, Respect Life Month, the USCCB Committee on Pro-Life Activities will be inviting Catholics to unite in prayer and action. You can sign up and join other like-minded faithful here.
