June 24th marks the one-year anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade.
As we approach this anniversary, we continue to offer thanksgiving to
God that states can once again protect the lives of preborn children in
law.
In
God’s profound providence, the Court handed down its historic decision
on the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and during the month that
we also celebrate the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ.
Since the Dobbs
decision, many states have enacted strong pro-life protections.
Tragically, other states have drastically expanded abortion access and
continue to pursue extreme pro-abortion policies. At this critical
moment, whether we reside in states with pro-life or pro-abortion
policies, we are presented with new opportunities and responsibilities to continue building a culture that welcomes and celebrates life.
Let
us each draw close to Christ’s Sacred Heart in the Eucharist and
sincerely ask how He is calling us to use our unique gifts for the cause
of life.
