The upcoming Supreme Court decision regarding chemical abortion has sparked a call for prayer and intercession from the USCCB Committee on Pro-Life Activities. The case focuses on the FDA's promotion of chemical abortion, which has led to concerns about risks to women and violations of federal law.

In response to the case, the USCCB is urging Catholics to join in prayer starting on March 25, the eve of the oral arguments, seeking the intercession of St. Joseph, Defender of Life. The prayer invokes St. Joseph's role in protecting the Holy Family and asks for guidance in welcoming and safeguarding the gift of life.

The USCCB's initiative aims to rally support for the end of abortion and the protection of women and preborn children. The Committee hopes that invoking St. Joseph's intercession will inspire a commitment to the defense of human life, especially in vulnerable situations.

As the Supreme Court prepares to issue its decision, the USCCB anticipates a significant public and political reaction, similar to previous landmark decisions. The outcome of the case could potentially restore limitations on chemical abortion that have been overridden by the FDA's actions.

The USCCB's emphasis on prayer and intercession reflects a deep commitment to upholding the sanctity of life and advocating for its protection. With the support of the faithful, they seek to address the challenges posed by the widespread accessibility of chemical abortion in the United States.
