Mexico City, Mexico (LifeNews.com) – Amnesty International affiliates have reaffirmed a decision their leading officials made in April to endorse abortion. The vote reconfirms the human rights group’s position supporting abortion in cases when women are victims of sexual abuse – especially in war-torn areas.

…

Following Friday’s vote to endorse abortion, a leading British bishop resigned.

The Rt. Rev Michael Evans, Bishop of East Anglia and the head of the Catholic Church in Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk, wrote a special prayer for the organization for Catholics to use to pray that it has a change of heart.

I’ll start by be “taking action” in my own house: I’ve got an old Amnesty International that I’ll be throwing away.

What a shame this is.

I knew they were considering this a while back, but I hadn’t heard they officially adopted a pro-abortion stance.

What’s really disturbing is that, at Mass today, Father talked in his homily about being “on fire” – i.e. passionate – about doing God’s work, and held up the founder of AI as an example. When he said this, I was wondering if I should say something to him after Mass, but I decided not to since I wasn’t sure what their decision had been…now I wish I had!

Peace,
Dante

I have sent AI a note expressing my sorry and regret over their decision to trample on the rights of children and women.

This really galls me to no end. I mean, here they say they’re for human rights and all, and then they turn around and support abortions. Talk about hypocrisy! Yes, they do good work in other areas, but I really hope they will reconsider their position on this!

There goes all support from me… wont be supporting them in the future.

I remember something like this with UNICEF before, too. Don’t they support abortion, too?

There’s still time. Gently bring him the news.

I wrote them a letter telling them that I will no longer support them financially because of this decision. I am most certainly giving them any of my hard earned money.
