Welcome to the Dec. 11, 2019 edition of Just 3 Things, the weekly social action newsletter of the Office of Human Life & Dignity. Here are a few of the important priorities, news and ideas of the week.
A victory for women and babies from the U.S. Supreme Court. On Dec. 9, the Supreme Court let stand a Kentucky law mandating doctors perform ultrasounds and show fetal images to patients before they can perform abortions. The legislation, signed into law in 2017, can take effect immediately.
A majority of Catholics plan to vote for a Democratic challenger to President Trump in the 2020 presidential election, according to a new EWTN-Real Clear Opinion Research poll. The California primary is Tuesday, March 3. The general election is Nov. 3, 2020.
The feast of the patroness of the Americas, Our Lady of Guadalupe, is Dec. 12. Some early morning devotees will gather at 5 a.m. at Mission Dolores Basilica in S.F, at Sacred Heart Church in Olema, and elsewhere around the Archdiocese for the traditional
Mañanitas Mass in honor of Our Lady. Many walked miles from South San Francisco to St. Mary's Cathedral in the 26th annual Guadalupana pilgrimage Dec. 7.
