Taking away the requirement of an in-person doctor’s visit means that women are more at risk of dangerous complications. It also means that it’s easier than ever to get access to abortion pills, increasing the chances of their being used by abusive partners or sex trafficking criminals against a woman’s will.

Pharmacies shouldn’t sell drugs for abortion, full stop. But the fact that the abortion pill is also dangerous for women makes the practice even worse. Send a quick message to pharmacies if you agree. Learn how: bit.ly/stop-abortion-pills

Some people claim that abortion pills are safer for women than Tylenol. They are not. The basis for this hugely misleading claim includes overdoses of Tylenol. It is not a comparison between the safety of actual regular use of the drugs. Learn more: usccb.org/prolife/abortion-p…

Not only does the abortion pill take the lives of preborn babies, it’s also dangerous for women. Yet the FDA doesn’t even require any complications women experience to be reported (except death). Learn more: usccb.org/prolife/abortion-p…

Since 1973, the Church has recognized October as Respect Life Month, a time to celebrate the God-given dignity of every human life and to advocate for its protection from conception until natural death. This year's theme is Mary, Mother of Life. To learn how you can celebrate Respect Life Month and meditate more deeply on the gift of human life, visit ow.ly/6F3Q50ZTvlN. Mary, Mother of Life, pray for us! @usccbprolife @DioceseToledo @BishopDEThomas

50 years ago today, the Hyde Amendment passed with bipartisan support from Congress and the White House. This law protects taxpayers from funding elective abortion at the federal level. It has been renewed every year since 1976 and has saved the lives of over 2.6 million preborn babies!

Our Catholics Vote No campaign is rooted in prayer and fasting. Thus, Bishop Burbidge is calling all the faithful of the Diocese of Arlington action! On Fridays, Bishop Burbidge asks that you pray the Stations of the Cross. And fast—which means only full meal and no meat. On Sundays, he asks that you pray the Rosary and fast from social media for at least a few hours—perhaps before and after Mass. Please entrust these efforts to the Lord’s amazing grace, so all that is just, right, and true may be done.

Here in Lourdes, the city of the sick and of hope, I appeal to the entire healthcare community to remember the profound meaning of your vocation, which is to care for a suffering person, not to eliminate that person. Be passionate servants of life! No one ever has the right to decide the life of any person. Medicine must never become the servant of programmed death! #ApostolicJourney #France vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

Saint Pius of Pietrelcina (Francesco) Forgione, priest, of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin: in the convent of the little village of San Giovanni Rotondo in Puglia, he spent himself wholeheartedly in the spiritual instruction of the faithful and the reconciliation of penitents. He provided for the poor and needy with such care, that being truly configured to Christ crucified, he completed on this day his earthly pilgrimage.
