When bishops don’t lead, the flock will flounder and begin to stray. When bishops don’t speak out, how can we expect anyone else to raise their voices?

As quickly as states like Texas, Arizona, and Kansas pass new definitive laws designed to protect women and children against subpar health standards in abortion clinics, pro-abortionists challenge those laws in court, purportedly on the grounds that said laws will restrict access to care and thus limit a woman’s right to affordable healthcare.
