Amid the pandemic and its uncertainties, the people and ministries or call 303-742-0828 to learn more, of Catholic Charities have renewed our efforts to serve those in need. We continue to adapt our model for those volunteer or make a donation. experiencing homelessness, because ultimately, our goal is to provide a pathway for women, men and families to find housing and a chance at a new life. In the pages of Charity Works, please meet some of the people we have served recently. We are humbled by the ongoing support of our donors and volunteers. This issue featured two Heroes of Hope, the Hraban family and 17-year-old high school student Will Seifert. They personify the mission of providing the healing ministry of Jesus Christ to those in need. They recognize the healing ministries as hope. At Catholic Charities, we believe in hope. It is a hope that our many services will help end the cycle of poverty. It is a hope that a child will not face hunger or fear again. It is a hope that we can be there to support families through challenging times to help them avoid homelessness. If they do experience homelessness, we have hope to restore their dignity and help them on the path of stability.” Please continue to pray for our clients, staff, supporters and volunteers who serve those in need. We also ask you to join us as we pray for the end of this pandemic and for the health and safety of all. God bless, Charity Works is published quarterly by Catholic Charities of Denver, a 501(c)(3) established to serve those in need in Darren A. Walsh northern Colorado. As the charitable arm of the Archdiocese of Denver, and President & CEO inspired by God’s love and compassion, Catholic Charities extends the healing ministry of Jesus Christ to the poor and those in need. ccdenver.org/newsroom Follow Us: Graphic Designer, Shelley Bezek Managing Editor, Cheryl Talley Editor, Nissa LaPoint MANY MINISTRIES, ONE PURPOSE – TO SERVE ALL PEOPLE CHARITY WORKS PG. 3 FALL 2020 DONOR SPOTLIGHT - WHY THEY GIVE HEROES GIVING BRINGS of GRATITUDE FOR FAMILY HOPE Giving is important to the Hraban family who often practices gratitude. “Everything we have is a gift from God,” said Janet Hraban, who lives in Windsor with her husband, Jerry, and three daughters. “We are simply giving back to God what is already His.” After the pandemic hit, the family thought about things they could do while staying at home. Hosting a supply drive at their parish, Our Lady of the Valley Parish in Windsor, became their mission. The church created a flyer and promoted the donation drive through its bulletin and Flocknote. The Hrabans joined another family in posting signs and balloons and setting up a 6-foot distanced donation drop-off via a drive-thru outside the church. “We figured out a way to do it safely,” she said. “We definitely were in the midst of fear at that point and the church was closed, so we weren’t sure anyone would want to participate. But, as usual, we saw our community at Our Lady of the Valley come together.” Within two hours, cars dropped donations or checks amounting to about $4,000 worth of supplies, including underwear, socks, bath towels, hygiene items and more. At the end, they delivered a van and truck filled with supplies to Guadalupe Community Center in Greeley to benefit those experiencing homelessness. “Specifically, during the pandemic, we felt very lifted in the sense that people were not fearful to come and give,” Janet said. “I think that’s great.” The Hrabans, who own an insurance marketing company, have volunteered and given regularly to Catholic Charities, especially The Mission in Fort Collins and Guadalupe Community Center. When they first moved to Windsor from Omaha about 8 years ago, they volunteered to meet new people in the community. On Thanksgiving Day, they volunteered at The Mission in Fort Collins. That turned into regular cooking and serving meals at The Mission, with Jerry becoming a board member. They have also hosted birthday parties where guests were asked to bring gifts for families staying at the local shelter. They’ve also given financially, including supporting The Mission during the pandemic. “We feel good giving to an organization that we know well,” she said. “We like to give to Catholic Charities because we feel they are efficiently run, and they know what they are doing.” The Hrabans hope that other individuals and families of goodwill see the opportunities to give back through Catholic Charities. “It boils down to a philosophy of wanting to give back all that you’ve Interested in starting a drive? been given,” she said. “Scripture calls those that have the opportunity Please see ccdenver.org/wishlist for the latest need. to take care of each other.” FALL 2020 PG. 4 CHARITY WORKS MANY MINISTRIES, ONE PURPOSE – TO SERVE ALL PEOPLE VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT STUDENT RAISES $10,000 TO HELP LOCAL SHELTERS While school was out for the summer, Will Seifert, a rising 17-year-old senior at Cherry Creek High School, wanted to use this time well.

EXTRATERRITORIALITY OF RESTRICTIVE STATE ABORTION LAWS: STATES CAN ABORT PLANS TO ABORT AT HOME BUT NOT ABROAD The question of a state's authority to legislate abortion extraterritori- ally may appear largely academic because of the United States Supreme Court's holding in Roe v. Wade, in which the Court prohibited states from restricting abortions in the first trimester of pregnancy.' At first glance, the Supreme Court's recent decision in Planned Parenthood v. Casey' appears to remove further the issue of extraterritorial abortion legislation from the states because the decision purportedly reaffirmed Roe.3 The Casey decision, however, does not preclude returning the abortion issue to the states. An extremely tenuous coalition of justices reaffirmed Roe, while a united group of dissenters argued that the Supreme Court should defer resolution of the abortion issue to state leg- islatures.4 Furthermore, Casey's "undue burden" standard allows states 1.

Volume Nineteen Spring 1990 Number Three STATE CONSTITUTIONAL REGULATION OF ABORTION Michael R. Braudest I. INTRODUCTION Among the most divisive legal and social issues in contemporary American society is the existence of a woman's right to obtain an abortion, as counterbalanced by the authority of states and munici­ palities to regulate and restrict that right. Between 1973 and 1989, the basic rules concerning the power of the states to prohibit or significantly restrict the performance of abortions were those an­ nounced by the Supreme Court in Roe v. Wade. I While the rules and analytic method adopted in Roe quickly became controversial, they nevertheless provided relatively clear guidance to women seeking abortions and to physicians willing to perform the procedure.

  • Abortion: the Five-Year Revolution and Its Impact
    ABORTION: THE FIVE-YEAR REVOLUTION AND ITS IMPACT The most pressing environmental problems in America and throughout the world are attributable in significant part to rapid and continuing increase in population. Many have looked to 1he reform of abortion laws as a means of controlling population growth. In January 1973 the United States Supreme Court, in Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton, abruptly overturned restrictive abortion laws throughout the United States. This Comment analyzes these decisions, particularly their public health and demographic aspects. The author concludes that the nation's medical facilities will readily adjust to the increased demand for abortions and that the primary effect of legalization will be an improvement in the quality of abortion operations, rather than an increase in the quantity of operationsperformed. In Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton,' two landmark decisions an- nounced January 22, 1973, the United States Supreme Court invali- dated abortion laws in 31 states and the District of Columbia and struck out critical provisions in the statutes of 14 others.2 The deci- sions marked the climax of over five years of intensive efforts to reform abortion statutes, a struggle characterized by rapid changes in public, medical, and judicial opinion on this controversial issue. Until 1967 the availability of legal abortions was severely re- stricted throughout the United States by state laws permitting abortion only when the mother's life was seriously threatened by continuation of pregnancy. Since 1967, 16 state legislatures have passed variations of a liberalized therapeutic abortion act which eased many of the re- strictions.3 In addition, legal attacks on both traditional and liberalized 1.
