I was wondering if anyone knew what propers to do for this particular Mass (no. 14 of "masses for Various Needs and Occasions"). We're doing this Mass as a remembrance of Roe v. Wade and I'd really like to do them, but I have no idea if the music is available.
If there isn't a prescribed set of propers for the day, you could take the propers for a votive Mass for peace and justice. They are listed in the 1974 Graduale Romanum on p. 653:
IN Da pacem, Domine, sustinentibus te GR Benedictus Dominus Deus Israel or Laetatus sum AL Lauda, Jerusalem, Dominum or Qui posuit fines tuos pacem OF Laudate Dominum quia benignus est CO Beati mundo corde, with verses from Ps 33 or Iustus Dominus, et iustitias dilexit or Pacem meam do vobis, alleluia (except in Lent)
The propers "for any necessity", listed on the same page, seem appropriate too:
IN Exsurge, quare obdormis, Domine? or: Salus populi ego sum GR Liberasti nos, Domine or: Salvum fac servum tuum AL Propitius esto, Domine or: Venite ad me, omnes OF: Domine Deus, salutis meae or: Si ambulavero in medio tribulationis CO Memento verbi tui servo tuo or: Petite et accipietis
