Coalition Supports the Holy See's Continued Status as Permanent Observer at the U.N.

The Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer supports the efforts of the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute which has brought together a coalition of more than a thousand non-governmental organizations of many faiths in support of the Holy See's continued status as Permanent Observer at the United Nations.

A group of about 400 organizations led by Catholics for a Free Choice and Planned Parenthood have started a campaign to challenge the Holy See's status because of its effectiveness in defending the dignity and health of women and their families.

As a women's organization, the Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer recognizes and appreciates the efforts of the Holy See to speak out in defense of the health and welfare of women and their children. We urge other organizations to sign on to this historic declaration which has brought together Evangelicals, Mormons, Moslems, Jews, atheists, and people of other faiths. 

We are providing a link to the declaration located on the web site for the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute. http://www.c-fam.org/HolySee/index.html.  This is not a statement in support of Catholic beliefs. Rather, it is a statement in support of the Holy See's work on behalf of the family. A message from the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute follows.

Sincerely,
Karen Malec
Coordinator
Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer
