The Biden administration's "relative silence" over a growing number of attacks on churches, pregnancy resource centers and pro-life organizations over the abortion issue "endangers Americans even more," said a coalition of pro-life and faith leaders. In a letter released June 16, the leaders called on the U.S. Department of Justice to publicly condemn the attacks, "commit to vigorous efforts to prevent them, and to investigate and prosecute them."

WASHINGTON (CNS) The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities has launched a campaign urging Catholics to write letters to pharmaceutical companies urging them to stop the use of abortion-derived cell lines in the development and testing of vaccines.
Among the companies singled out are Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson for their COVID-19 vaccines, GlaxoSmithKline for its Shingrix shingle vaccine, and Merck for its MMR, Chickenpox, and Hepatitis-A vaccines.
The secretariat provides sample letters on the USCCB website. The letters include the names of top officials and the address for each company.
