CWN Editor's Note: The bishops of Massachusetts issued a statement on state legislation that would remove legal limits on abortions between the 24th week of pregnancy and the moment of birth.
“As Catholic bishops we have a moral responsibility to present and uphold Catholic teaching and the sacred God-given dignity of every human life from conception to the natural death,” the bishops said in their July 29 statement. “The proposed elimination of any legal restraint on late-term abortion is, in our judgement, a radical measure which is gravely immoral.”
The legislation, which passed the state house in a 119-33 vote, is now being considered by the senate.
