Dear CV Friend,

Another terrible Obama regulation may soon be gone!

And Catholics have President Trump to thank.

INTERESTING: In an 11th-hour maneuver -- enacted just days before
Barack Obama left office in 2017 -- Department of Health and
Human Services officials declared it was "discrimination" for
faith-based adoption and foster care agencies to only place
children in homes with a mother and a father.

The move was an obvious giveaway to the radical LGBT lobby, whose
goal was to coerce Catholic agencies into affirming same-sex
marriage.

Not so fast...

Today the Trump administration proposed changes to that rule
which stipulate that federal discrimination standards adhere to
the Constitution, acts of Congress, and Supreme Court decisions
-- not the whims of unelected bureaucrats.

That's a victory not just for religious freedom, but also for the
rule of law!

The Trump administration rightly called the Obama rule a
"crackdown" on religious organizations.

But the real victims of the Obama-era rule were the tens of
thousands of foster care children awaiting adoption. There are
hundreds of agencies and thousands of families willing to help.
But the Obama rule prevented families from being served by
faith-based programs.

This isn't complicated.

Faith-based groups have worked with government agencies to
provide safe, healthy homes for children for decades. And
Catholic charities in many cities have been among the largest
partners in caring for these children.

These agencies, bolstered by social science and moral principle,
believe that the best home for a child is one that includes a
mother and a father.

Just for that, Obama slammed the door on these agencies -- and
the vulnerable kids they served.

President Trump just moved to welcome them back with open arms!

We are thankful that the Trump administration is reversing course
on this detrimental policy. This is why Catholics elected Trump:
To protect us from those who want to shut down or bankrupt our
ministries.

But imagine for a moment if Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigieg, or
Joe Biden were elected president next year. We both know this
anti-Catholic regulation would be reinstated in a heartbeat.

The good people who work in these faith-based adoption agencies
shouldn't have to choose between the good of children and their
deeply-held beliefs.

And most importantly, vulnerable kids shouldn't be used as
political footballs.

Thankfully, they have a friend in President Donald Trump.

Brian


P.S. Today's action is only a proposed rule. It still must go
through the required process, including a 30-day period when the
American people are invited to comment on the proposal. The other
side is sure to issue comments in opposition to this move to
restore religious freedom. We will keep you updated on action you
can take to help finalize this rule.
