NOVENA FOR THE LEGAL PROTECTION OF HUMAN LIFE:

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...

FAST

Offer a sacrifice for the intention.

LEARN

Roe and Doe legalized abortion through all nine months of

pregnancy.

Many people don't realize that Roe v. Wade legalized abortion through all nine months of pregnancy. Roe says abortions may

not be restricted at all during the first three months and in the sec-ond three months may be regulated only for the mother's health.1

After "viability"2 Roe allows abortion to be prohibited but must make an exception for the woman's life or health.3

But in Roe's companion case, Doe v. Bolton, the Court defined "health" to include "all factors—physical, emotional, psychological, familial, and the woman's age—relevant to the well-being" of the mother.4 In most states, that is broad enough to permit virtually

any abortion in the seventh, eighth, or ninth months of pregnancy5 if any of these reasons is invoked.6

We, the family of Dorothy Hebert, would like to express our sincere gratitude to Fr. Jude, Deacon Robbie, St. Joseph French Choir, St. Martha’s Guild, Camelot Brookside and Lamm Hospice Care for all you did for her and us during her illness and in her passing. Your kindness and prayers will be remembered. The Dorothy Hebert Family

tion can be done online.
