June 30, 2020I was deeply disappointed with the decision rendered by the U.S. Supreme Court yesterday on abortion, which struck down a Louisiana law requiring doctors who perform abortions to possess admitting privileges to hospitals. As Archbishop Joseph Naumann, Chairman of the USCCB Committee for Pro-Life Activities, noted so well, abortion violently ends the life of a child and often severely harms women. While we hope to see an end to all abortion, these laws that restrict abortion are in place to see that women who seek it should not be further harmed and abused by a callous, profit-driven industry.
It is my great hope that this temporary legal set-back will result in a greater effort to overturn the grave injustice of the Supreme Court’s Roe and Casey decisions, and a true right to life is recognized for every human being, from conception until natural death. Let us continue to work toward that goal, including finding new ways to help pregnant women choose to keep their babies.
May God bless you,
