Dear Colleague,<br>
<br>
In a C-Fam exclusive, Susan Yoshihara reports on new Federal rules that will require faith-based groups to refer refugee children for abortion. This will directly affect Catholic and other Christian groups working on refugee issues.<br>
<br>
We are frequently asked what people can do about the stories we cover. Here is something you can do. The Administration is asking for public comments by Monday. Give them yours.<br>
<br>
Here is the message:<br>
<br>
"The requirement for faith based groups to provide, partner with organizations that perform, or refer for abortions is a violation <span class="yiv4873592435Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre;"> </span>of conscience rights and should be removed.”</div>
<div>
<br>
You may give this message <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.elabs3.com/c.html?ufl=2&rtr=on&s=ebss,1syud,4t6x,9393,jy6v,39g0,2wwk">online</a> or by contacting Elizabeth Sohn at UACPolicy@acf.hhs.gov or by phone at (202) 260-6829. Deaf and hearing impaired individuals may call the Federal Dual Party Relay
Service at 1-800-877-8339 between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. Eastern Time.<br>
<br>
Our Rebecca Oas also has an important story, about a conference at the UN about the ethical uses of stem cells.<br>
<br>
Spread the word. Be brave.<br>
<br>
Yours sincerely,<br>
<br>
Austin Ruse
<br>

<strong>Obama Tells Faith-Based Groups they Must Refer Refugee Children for Abortions</strong><br>
<br>
By Susan Yoshihara, Ph.D.<br>
<br>
NEW YORK, February 20 (C-Fam) The Obama administration is getting ready to issue new rules requiring charities to provide abortions to child refugees entering the US without their parents. Faith-based groups say this is a contravention of the rights of parents and a violation of the
conscience rights of faith-based groups helping resettle the children.<br>
<br>
The public has until Monday to comment on the fast-tracked new rules, which were issued on Christmas Eve. The administration says it would be "contrary to the public interest" to wait "until a public notice and comment process is complete." <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.elabs3.com/c.html?ufl=2&rtr=on&s=ebss,1syud,4t6x,b5k,8309,39g0,2wwk">Read more</a></div>

<strong>Scientist Tells UN Babies’ Stem Cells Can Heal Mothers’ Hearts</strong><br>
<br>
By Rebecca Oas, Ph.D.<br>
<br>
NEW YORK, February 20 (C-Fam) Unborn children can contribute stem cells that help repair their pregnant mothers’ diseased heart tissue, a scientist told a conference on women’s health at the UN last week. This groundbreaking research with ethical stem cells provides promise for
treatments for other heart disease patients in the future.<br>
<br>
Dr. Hina Chaudhry of Mount Sinai School of Medicine presented her research to enthusiastic applause at a two-day forum on women’s health helmed by Princess Dr. Nisreen El-Hashemite, granddaughter of King Faisal I of Iraq, who is also a biomedical researcher. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.elabs3.com/c.html?ufl=2&rtr=on&s=ebss,1syud,4t6x,15cl,j666,39g0,2wwk">Read more</a></div>
