Bishops Release Statement on 45th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade

In their annual statement marking the January 22 anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in  Roe v. Wade, the bishops of Florida lament that a mother's womb has become a place of vulnerability for the developing child rather than a place of safety and security. 
  
The bishops confirm that all life issues are interconnected. Poverty, race and disability endanger the life of the unborn child and contribute to a great number of abortions in our country. "Abortion is a direct assault on human life; devaluing the poor, minorities and the disabled harms human dignity," said the bishops.
