The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops is marking Pregnancy Help Appreciation Week by celebrating the work of pro-life pregnancy resource centers...
“We express our sincere gratitude for all those who work to provide necessary resources to women, babies, and families during pregnancy and beyond,” Bishop Daniel Thomas, chair of the bishops’ Committee on Pro-Life Activities, said in an Oct. 27 statement.
Pregnancy Help Appreciation Week, which will be celebrated from Nov. 9–13 this year, is a celebration created by Heartbeat International — a network of pregnancy centers that offer pregnancy help as an alternative to abortion clinics.
A report published last November by the Charlotte Lozier Institute found that in 2024, pro-life pregnancy resource centers provided over $452 million worth of support to women in crisis pregnancies and struggling women with young children, including medical care, support and education services, and material goods.
The bishops’ statement noted that about 2,750 life-affirming pregnancy centers currently operate in the United States.

Up next, the pope has them ex-communicated…
As long as Catholics keep supporting abortion in voting and politics then there isn’t much we can do to stop their political influence, they are too large of a denomination to overcome in elections, as we just saw again in this pro-abortion wipe out.
While 90% of their priests support the Baby Killing Party.
Where did this 90% number come from?
It saddens and infuriates me to know that some Catholics excuse themselves (either lying to themselves or otherwise deluding themselves) for voting for Democrats because they say Republicans believe in the death penalty which they equate with tens of millions of abortions every year. I do not think that the rare carrying out of a death penalty for a person who has been justly convicted of committing an extreme evil isn’t in any way equal to killing millions of pre-born innocent babies.
I also think that most sentences of the death penalty are an extreme waste of the taxpayers’ money. The person in jail with that penalty has millions of dollars spent on them due to all of their appeals, etc.. The only time I think the death penalty should be carried out is when a person is in prison for life without parole for murder and then commits murder again once they are in prison.
