Statement from Bishop Hying regarding the arson attack on the Wisconsin Family Action offices

On May 9, 2022May 9, 2022
Catholic Herald Staff

“The destruction of Wisconsin Family Action headquarters in Madison over the weekend is a brazen act of violence which all citizens should condemn, as an attack on the respect and concern we owe to each other in seeking the common good. The graffitied message, ‘If abortions aren’t safe, you aren’t either’ shows this attack to be explicitly against pro-life Americans who seek to protect the precious gift of life in the womb. Abortion is violence, not only against the unborn child, but also women, men, and families. We pray for a conversion of hearts in our country, that we may truly build a culture of life and compassion, where every human person is welcomed, nurtured and loved from the moment of conception to natural death.”

+Bishop Donald J. Hying
Diocese of Madison
