TALLAHASSEE, Jan 16, 2001 (LSN.ca) – The Catholic Bishops of Florida have released their message for the January 22 anniversary of the Supreme Court Decision in the Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton cases. The release notes that “This month marks the 28th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court 7-2 decisions … which in every state of this nation, struck down laws protecting the lives of the weakest and most vulnerable members of our human family, unborn children.
“With God’s help, Roe v. Wade will one day be reversed. Abortion and infanticide are evil and beneath us as a people,” said the Bishops. They committed themselves to “continue to work, to educate and to pray that the laws of our nation will again respect the lives of every human being, from its very beginning, until its natural end.” Addressing those involved in abortions the bishops said “We wish to express to them the love and forgiveness of our Lord Jesus Christ, who said to another woman involved in sin, ” … neither do I condemn you.” Please return to the Lord and seek his loving mercy, his forgiveness and his peace. Our parishes are open to you, post-abortion counseling is available, and the grace of the Sacraments awaits you.
