June 18, 2022 On Friday, June 24, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its ruling in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturns the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision on abortion. Here is a statement from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, Archbishop Leonard Blair, and the Connecticut Catholic Conference.
