DescriptionWashington Post

An excerpt...
"The buzz among the refugee aid groups is that Ellen Sauerbrey , former Maryland state legislator, two-time unsuccessful gubernatorial candidate and now ambassador to the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women, is being looked at to be assistant secretary of state for refugee matters.

If so, there is bound to be a battle, largely over abortion rights. Sauerbrey has a fair amount of diplomatic experience in -- and gets substantial kudos for -- being a tireless advocate for human rights and women's rights. About 70 to 80 percent of refugees are women and children."
