Bishop Joe S. Vásquez, a consultant to the U.S. Bishops’ Committee on Pro-Life Activity, urged Catholics to accompany mothers who are in need of assistance, emphasizing that the Church is pro-child and pro-woman.
In an X post on the United States Conferences of Catholic Bishops (USCCB)’s page, Bishop Vásquez said, “We can’t just simply say we’re against abortion. No, we’re pro-life. We’re pro-child. And we’re pro-woman.”
He encouraged Catholics to accompany mothers, saying, “And we have to help these women who find themselves in difficult situations sometimes and say, ‘Let’s help them and assist them.’”
He added, “And that means really making the Gospel real.”

The Bishop urged Catholics to accompany and walk with people from all religious backgrounds who need assistance.
The X post referenced the USCCB’s initiative “Walking with Moms in Need,” a parish-based initiative that “works to ensure that any woman who finds herself unexpectedly pregnant, or parenting in difficult circumstances, can turn to her local Catholic Church and be connected with the resources she needs,” according to the program’s website.
