Mayor Justin Wilson, a Democrat, announced plans for the day last week, saying it was meant to “celebrate the courage, compassion, and the high-quality care that abortion providers and clinic staff provide.” Bishop Michael Burbidge of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Arlington released a statement in response, labeling the proposal to celebrate abortion a "direct, violent attack on human life" and called for the city to instead "re-direct its focus toward recognizing and supporting both mothers and their children, as so many dedicated and compassionate people in Alexandria do each day.”
