WASHINGTON, D.C. — Four bishop chairmen of committees for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) have urged Dr. Stephen M. Hahn, Commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), to ensure that vaccines for the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) are developed ethically and are free from any connection to the exploitation of abortion.
Members of the Coalition of Religious Leaders of New Jersey, as interfaith religious and spiritual leaders, seek at this moment in time to affirm their concern for the common good of the people of New Jersey. Their deep concern is grounded in their moral and ethical sacred texts that teach compassion and caring for one another.
