I'm writing about today's radical Supreme Court ruling in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization case overturning the constitutionally protected right to an abortion.
This is a dark and heavy day in our nation's history, and a revolting decision from the court.
Six justices—five appointed by GOP presidents who lost the popular vote—voted to literally take away a fundamental constitutional right from the American people.
Two of them have faced credible sexual assault accusations.
One of them is married to someone who tried to overthrow the government.
Their decision makes a mockery of justice, and will further erode trust in the legitimacy of our institutions.
Where will the court go next? We don't have to look far. The GOP isn't even hiding their radical, far-right agenda anymore. They're coming for same-sex marriage. And LGBTQ rights. And birth control. And the right to privacy.
Don't take my word for it. In his concurring opinion, Clarence Thomas said the Supreme Court should “correct the error” established in Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell because those decisions are “demonstrably erroneous."
The hypocrisy is outrageous.
The same GOP saying that states shouldn't be able to set their own gun laws, now says that states should be able to outlaw abortion.
The same GOP pushing false narratives about vaccines now wants to put politicians in Washington in charge of women's personal medical choices.
The same GOP arguing against mask mandates is now arguing that women aren't in charge of their own bodies.
Before I’m a member of Congress, I’m a dad. I know many parents are struggling with the impact of this news for the autonomy of our kids and for every American. I’m enraged this generation will have fewer rights than the last. They deserve better from their country's leadership. The court has failed them.
And make no mistake: this decision will not impact all of us equally. It will have a disproportionate impact on Black and brown women, poor women, and those without the ability or means to travel to get the medical care they deserve.
Here's the bottom line: The rights of all women—and all Americans—are on the ballot in November.
I am working with my colleagues in Congress and the Biden administration to meet the urgency of the crisis and use all tools at our disposal from across the federal government to mitigate the incredible harm of this decision.
We must continue fighting for an America where abortion is safe and legal for everyone.
Radical Republicans—from Congress to the court—are not done stripping away freedoms. The GOP is defined by this extremism. We saw it on January 6 and we're seeing it today at the court. This decision must catalyze us to action.
It’s up to all of us to keep fighting for what we believe in. We will not give up. We will not give in. We support women and we're not going back.

Due to the winter storm tomorrow St Peters Basketball will be canceled on Saturday January 29, 2022 and will resume Saturday February 5, 2022. Stay safe everyone.
2021-22 SEASON
Basketball Season has resumed!
Hello,
This Saturday (January 22nd), we will resume the Basketball Program at St. Peter's Parish. We will follow the schedule for Saturday January 22nd. Instructional Division will be at regularly scheduled time 10-11a
The health and wellbeing of all remains a concern and we therefore request that if a child is not feeling well or has had direct contact at any time this week with someone in your household or at their respective school who has tested positive for Covid-19, that they refrain from participating in our basketball program this weekend.
In an effort to control the volume of people in our gym, we are asking that only one parent/adult accompany their son/daughter to the Instructional Program.
Barring any directives from public health officials that the program be halted, it is our intention to continue our program throughout February, though we will be prepared to postpone activities should it be advisable or necessary.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Dear Worcester Interfaith Community,
Please join us for a “Celebratory Gathering in Honor of Isabel Gonzalez-Webster” on Sunday, January 9, 2022 at First Baptist Church, 111 Park Avenue, Worcester from 2:00pm to 4:00pm with a brief presentation and program at 3:00pm.
This gathering will be our opportunity to both thank Isabel for her leadership of Worcester Interfaith and say farewell and Godspeed as she leaves the organization in mid-January to begin serving as Executive Director for Communities United for Police Reform (CPR) in New York City.
In announcing her decision to leave Worcester Interfaith, Isabel wrote that she has “had the pleasure to work with an incredible board of directors, staff, members, coalitions, and community to bring about racial and economic justice and address systemic inequities in the city of Worcester.” Though we will miss her, let us celebrate all that has been accomplished under Isabel’s leadership in just three action-packed years.
Attendees will be required to wear masks and observe all other posted Covid-19 safety protocols in effect the day of the event. Isabel asks that in lieu of gifts members consider making a financial donation to support the ongoing work of Worcester Interfaith.
We hope to see you there!
Celebration Committee
Pastor Nathan Pipho, Father Richard Trainor, Isabella Corazzini, Jane Cutting, Chaplain Martin Kelly, Rabbi Aviva Fellman
