U.S. Bishops Decry Removal of Safeguards for Chemical Abortions
17 Apr 2021
Leaders of the U.S. Bishops Conference (USCCB) have condemned a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) decision to cease enforcing the “in-person dispensing requirement” for chemical abortion pills during the remainder of the coronavirus public health emergency.
“It is difficult to see the FDA’s decision to not enforce important safety protocols as anything other than callous capitulation to the requests of abortion activists without regard for the health and safety of the women involved,” Kansas City Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann, chairman of the Bishops’ Committee on Pro-Life Activities, said in a statement Friday.
U.S. Bishops Denounce Biden Move to Reverse ‘Pro-Life Rule’
17 Apr 2021
The leadership of the U.S. Bishops Conference (USCCB) has denounced a move by the Biden administration to reintegrate abortion funding into the federal Title X family planning program.
“On Thursday, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services published a proposed rule to reverse ‘The Protect Life Rule,’” the bishops note on their website, “a regulation issued by the Trump Administration in 2019 to clearly separate abortion from family planning in the federal Title X family planning program.”
“This policy change will allow the Title X program to become an indirect funding avenue for abortion providers,” Kansas City Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann, chairman of the USCCB Committee on Pro-Life Activities, declared in a statement Friday.
