However, Lori also clarified that the road to a better society was far from over, stating that the church, pro-life voters and conservative politicians would now need to step up and ensure the health and safety of all expecting mothers.

"It gives us the opportunity to build a new a culture of life and to reengage the issue with our fellow citizens," Lori told the Vatican's press service. "And it is also a challenge to us to redouble our efforts to serve women in difficult pregnancies and to protect both the mother and the child, which is something we are very, very committed to doing.
