CWN Editor's Note: Bishop Michael Burbidge of Arlington, Virginia, expressed relief at the news that Senator Richard Durbin would decline an award from the Chicago archdiocese.
In a post on X (Twitter), the bishop said:

Among these realities is the first and most fundamental natural right, that of the human right to life.The above note supplements, highlights, or corrects details in the original source (link above).
