Introduction
Welcome to Praise Chapel's official website where we bring you important updates and messages from our dedicated spiritual leaders. In this powerful statement, our interim bishop, Sally Dyck, addresses the recent decision by the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Understanding the Importance of Roe v. Wade
Roe v. Wade, a monumental Supreme Court decision made in 1973, gave women the legal right to access safe and legal abortions. It provided the framework for reproductive rights, offering women the autonomy to make choices concerning their own bodies and lives. For nearly five decades, this landmark ruling has offered protection and safeguards for women seeking reproductive healthcare services.
A Moment of Reflection
Today, we find ourselves grappling with the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. This is indeed a time of deep reflection and consideration for all who hold the important values of compassion, justice, and personal freedom close to their hearts.
Impact on Women's Healthcare
The reverberations of this decision are felt strongly within the realm of women's healthcare. The overturning of Roe v. Wade has serious implications for the millions of women who seek reproductive healthcare services across the nation. The rights and choices that were once protected are now subject to potential limitations and barriers.
