2 NINETEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME SAINT JAMES CATHOLIC SCHOOL Since the first century the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion. This teaching has not changed and is unchangeable.

Thank you! February 2, 6:00 PM What did Roe v. Wade do? It said the right of privacy (not mentioned in the text of the Constitution) is broad enough to encompass a woman s decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy. The Justices ruled that a state may not restrict an abortion at all in the first three months of pregnancy (first trimester). It may establish guidelines only to protect the mother s health during the next three months (second trimester). After viability, when the unborn child could survive if delivered (which the Court placed at 24 to 28 weeks of gestation), the state may prohibit abortion unless it is deemed necessary to preserve the mothers life or health. Novena Prayer. May a change in the U.S. Supreme Court move our nation closer to the day when every human being is protected in law and welcomed in life. Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be.
