As the nation awaits the U.S. Supreme Court’s most significant abortion ruling in decades [Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization], the president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and the chairmen of eight USCCB committees joined together “in prayer and expectant hope that states will again be able to protect women and children from the injustice of abortion.”
“As we affirm the value of every human life, we welcome the possibility of saving countless unborn children as well as sparing women and families the pain of abortion,” they said in a statement released late March 21….
In their statement, Los Angeles Archbishop José Gomez, USCCB president, and the chairmen of USCCB committees concerned with pro-life activities, domestic and international policy, evangelization and other issues reviewed the years of outreach by the Catholic Church through various initiatives, parishes, agencies other entities to pregnant women in need and their children and families….
“We exhort our nation to prioritize the well-being of women, children, and families with both material resources and personal accompaniment so that no woman ever feels forced to choose between her future and the life of her child,” they added.
Besides Archbishop Gomez, the bishops who signed the statement and their committees are: Bishop Thomas Daly of Spokane, Washington, Catholic education; Auxiliary Bishop Robert Reed of Boston, communications; Bishop Andrew Cozzens of Crookston, Minnesota, evangelization and catechesis; Archbishop Paul Coakley of Oklahoma City, domestic justice and human development; Bishop David Malloy of Rockford, Illinois, international justice and peace; Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco, laity, marriage, family life and youth; Auxiliary Bishop Mario Dorsonville of Washington, migration; and Archbishop William Lori of Baltimore, pro-life activities….
The above comes from a March 21 story by Catholic News Service.
Archbishop Gomez continue to protect women and children from the scourge of abortion once and for all. Then pray for an end to all abortion throughout America and the entire world. Pray especially to overturn Roe versus Wade and make America great once again. Bring America back to God. Bring down Roe versus Wade. PRAY! PRAY! PRAY!
Excellent. Thank you, Bishops.
And today Gavin Newsom — Catholic BTW — just announced abortion would be free in California.
Like this had to be said or done? Why doesn’t Gomez turn more attention to cleaning up his Religious Education Congress?
Because, like a politician knows, issuing statements is easier than doing anything meaningful.
This man does nothing. Blah blah blah
Now he needs to make a speech to FIRE UP those of us actively opposing abortion in California.
Bishops don’t act like shepherds nor fathers. They act like administrators of a multi-million-dollar legacy trust fund. They don’t want to rock the boat nor threaten their cushy administrative jobs.
Socialists all.
We’ve been subsidizing bastardy for nigh on 60 years. Not sure where these deep thinkers are going with this.
Huh???
I wish besides thumbs up and thumbs down there was a question mark icon to vote on because sometimes I just don’t get what someone means, so I’m not going to thumb up it, but I don’t want to thumb down it either. So how about a question mark?
Keep things simple. Just leave it blank — in other words don’t click at all, unless you get further information that changes your mind.
If abortions are free in California, Planned Butcherhood will soon be broke.
They are not unpaid-just no co-pays.
Abortions won’t be free and PP won’t go broke. The women and girls that abortions are committed on won’t pay anything, but the taxpayers will…and that will go directly into the pockets of a dwindling number of doctors that commit these acts. When the advanced practice nurses start in, then we’ll see some fireworks as the ideology of killing takes precedent over the well being of women and girls…as if their well being was ever a concern…
