|     Dear Colleague,
 
 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.
 
 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.
 
 Here is the message:
 
 "The requirement for faith based groups to provide, partner with organizations that perform, or refer for abortions is a violation  of conscience rights and should be removed.”  
 You may give this message online or by contacting Elizabeth Sohn at UACPolicy at acf.hhs.gov or by phone at (202) 260-6829. Deaf and hearing impaired individuals may call the Federal Dual Party RelayService at 1-800-877-8339 between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. Eastern Time.
 
 Our Rebecca Oas also has an important story, about a conference at the UN about the ethical uses of stem cells.
 
 Spread the word. Be brave.
 
 Yours sincerely,
 
 Austin Ruse

 President  |     Obama Tells Faith-Based Groups they Must Refer Refugee Children for Abortions
 
 By Susan Yoshihara, Ph.D.
 
 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 theconscience rights of faith-based groups helping resettle the children.
 
 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."
