With the March for Life around the corner – Jan. 20 – this week’s Talking Catholic focuses on the Respect Life movement in this post-Dobbs’ America.
Joining hosts Jen Mauro and Mike Walsh are Donna Ottaviano-Britt, secretariat for the Diocese of Camden’s Pastoral Outreach, and Ann Marie Ours, the office’s administrative assistant, as well as Rachel Hendricks, coordinator of Respect Life Ministries, Diocese of Trenton. Together, they discuss how Respect Life advocates are continuing to support the unborn as well as mothers and fathers who choose life. In addition to the annual March in Washington, D.C., anyone can promote life through prayer, education and public awareness, outreach and legislative advocacy!
For example, did you know that the New Jersey Catholic Conference, the public policy arm of the state’s bishops, has an easy way for you to contact your state legislators? Visit njcatholic.org to find out. Plus, there is the U.S. Bishops’ Walking With Moms in Need initiative, where local parishes and communities can support pregnant women and new families.
