When a bipartisan group of American Catholics signed on to an innocuous document entitled “A Catholic Call to Observe Civility in Political Debate,” my initial reaction was based on the horrific nature of the rhetoric.
“As the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops gathers this week for its semi-annual meeting, we hope the bishops will give serious attention to the crisis our Catholic hospitals are facing,” said American Life League president Judie Brown.

The March of Dimes campaign kicked off National Prematurity Awareness Month in addition to naming November 16 National Prematurity Awareness Day. The obvious implication is that the March of Dimes knows some things about premature births that it wants to share.
