Most Reverend Joe S. Vásquez,
Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Austin, On Protecting Life

Media Advisory | Espanol

The Church’s commitment to protect human life from conception to natural death remains steadfast. So too is our commitment to accompany mothers who face an unplanned pregnancy. As we await the Supreme Court’s final decision, my hope is that people of goodwill will continue to pray for a just decision that upholds the dignity of life.

Here are some resources for those who are facing unplanned pregnancy.
