Respect Life

Jonathan Roumie, known for his role as “Jesus” in the television series The Chosen, and other Catholic speakers are in the lineup for this year’s 50th annual national March for Life on Jan. 20.

Early efforts to oppose broadening the practice of abortion in the United States were largely driven by Catholics.

After a report dubbed 2022 “the year of the botched execution,” Catholic activists renewed their calls for an end to capital punishment in the U.S. at both the state and federal levels.

Dueling studies on the abortion rate in the United States give a conflicting picture about the prevalence of abortion in the last days of Roe v. Wade.

Catholic organizations announced they will implement expanded parental leave policies or provide other resources as a means of demonstrating their commitment to building a culture of life.

Even though 2022 was another year with fewer than 30 executions, more than half of those were in just two states, Oklahoma and Texas.

When the U.N. General Assembly passed a resolution Dec. 15 to establish a worldwide “moratorium on executions with a view to abolishing the death penalty,” the United States continued its practice of voting against it.
