Summary
Irish Bishop Kevin Doran of Achonry and Elphin has highlighted that Ireland lost approximately 300 primary school classes of children due to abortion in one year, as revealed by The Irish Catholic. He emphasized the significant human tragedy associated with abortion, which not only results in baby deaths but also deprives communities across Ireland of thousands of young children. Doran expressed his concern over the potential reduction of young adults in various community activities if current abortion trends continue. In Zimbabwe, the Catholic bishops have called for protection of unborn children ahead of a vote that could legalize abortion. They urged the senate to uphold their constitutional responsibility and asked Christians to pray for human life from conception as part of their call to action at Masses. Nebraska’s informed-consent laws were strengthened by a bill requiring abortion providers to screen for coercion, domestic violence, and human trafficking before performing an abortion. However, it narrowly failed due to opposition from the abortion lobby. The bill was introduced by state Sen. Tanya Storer and supported by state Sen. Dan Lonowski. In Texas, Jerry Rodriguez, a father who had his girlfriend abort two of their children, has filed a lawsuit against a California doctor for providing illegal abortions in Texas with the use of pills that are legal only in some states. The suit was updated in February 2026.
