If the protective power of the law can be likened to a castle, then the walls of the fortress protecting the “right” to abortion in this country have just fallen. 



The Supreme Court just undid the immense damage that had been done in law and culture by the 1973 abortion decision, Roe v. Wade. The Courtabolished the legal protection of a previous high court decision and removed the legal justification for the blood sacrifice of abortion. 



We are elated, and our nation is blessed by such a shocking reversal!



Catholic Action for Faith & Family joyfully commends this unbelievable act of courage on the part of the six justices who voted in the majority. These Justices will be seen by history as the righteous counterpoint to the seven lawless men of the Court in 1973 whose decision condemned sixty million babies to violent deaths.



Justice Alito, who wrote the opinion, stated the legal case with almost acerbic poignancy: 



“The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion. [The previous decisions of] Roe and Casey arrogated that authority. We now overrule those decisions and return that authority to the people and their elected representatives."



In one terse statement, the truth has finally come to light: Roe was wrong and illegitimate from the beginning. Now, the case has been clearly stated to the nation and to the world. 



Above all, a decision like this fills our hearts with hope. In the darkest hour of our nation, when all seems lost to the radicals – God came to our aid. He heard fifty years of prayers and sacrifice, reminding us once again of the Church’s constant refrain: “In you, Lord, is our hope, and we shall never hope in vain.”



Something so positive both endorses the position of the pro-life movement and will energize all of us for the battles ahead. That’s because the reality of this decision does not mean that abortion has been outlawed. We wish that were true, but it is not what the decision means. 



It simply means, as Justice Alito stated, that all decent, pro-life Americans now have fifty battlegrounds to fight on in order to root out this terrible injustice from our land. 



Still, as noted, this victory is nothing less than the fruit of millions of prayers offered by the faithful for half a century. It is also the fruit of the long-suffering work of our amazing pro-life organizations and the many thousands of humble, life-loving citizens who have persevered in the hard work of saving babies through sidewalk counseling and crisis pregnancy work. 



This decision also represents the cumulative cultural effect of several generations of pro-life teachers, churchmen, activists, and even legislators who have made efforts to chip away at the fortress for decades now. 



At Catholic Action, we are profoundly grateful for everyone who has contributed to the pro-life cause over the past five decades, but the battle is not over! 



Now we exhort every man, woman, and child of good will to double down, put on their armor, and go to the walls of any of our state fortresses that still protect this evil. 



Above all, we offer our deepest gratitude to the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ, on whose Solemnity the walls of the Roe fortress have been utterly vanquished!



Your friend in Christ,
