Amnesty or Attack 2

In another report from Catholic News Service, Amnesty International is another step closer to adopting a policy in favour of abortion, with its Canadian voting to abandon its previous neutral position, joining Great Britain and New Zealand. If the policy is accepted, the next challenge for Amnesty would be how to campaign for a universal legal right to abortion when half the world either limits it to cases of rape or danger to the mother.

Bishop Michael Evans of East Anglia mentioned in a letter to the director of Amnesty UK that many Catholic would withdraw their support from the organization which has done tremendous work since being founded in 1961 by a Catholic. How ironic!
