I know you’re all avid cover-to-cover readers of the Catholic Herald, so you know what happened on June 24 — the never-thought-we’d-ever-see-this U.S. Supreme Court overturning of Roe v. Wade and other related cases thus ruling that there is no right to an abortion in the U.S. Constitution.

ROE V. WADE OVERTURNED
It was a day and a decision many people hoped, worked, and prayed for, but they didn’t know when they’d see it.
March for Life in Washington, D.C., continues for 47 years
To the editor:
January 24, 2020, marked the 47th Annual March for Life in Washington, D.C. The theme was “Pro Life Is Pro Woman.”
Remain vigilant about state abortion laws
The issue of abortion has been in the news this year, as some states are attempting to expand abortion rights and other states are attempting to restrict them.
Wisconsin citizens might wonder where our state stands on the issue of abortion.
Weather doesn’t stop those marching for life in Madison

One of the first events I covered for the Catholic Herald was a pro-life rally held at the state Capitol on January 22, 1974.
It was held one year after the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion.
