Say No to Amnesty International
June 14th, 2007 by E. I. SanchezAmnesty International
Amnesty International has made the Alert's Watch List thanks to the Vatican speaking out against Amnesty International's stand on abortion.
Calling all Christians
"The Vatican has urged all Catholics to stop donating money to Amnesty International, accusing the human rights group of promoting abortion ... The Church's request covers funding from Catholic groups, non-governmental organisations, parishes, schools and individuals (BBC News)."
I personally like that the Vatican wasn't scared of calling Abortion what it is. In replying to the claim that Abortion may be appropriate in cases of rape or incest, Cardinal Renato Martino said "to justify it selectively, in the event of rape, that is to define an innocent child in the belly of its mother as an enemy, as 'something one can destroy' (BBC News)."
Amnesty International a'la Relativism
Responding to the Vatican, Kate Gilmore, Executive Deputy Secretary General of Amnesty International said:
"Millions of people around the world of many faiths and creeds donate to Amnesty International as individuals. Among them are welcome donations from members of the Catholic faith. We hope that Amnesty International's work against torture, against the death penalty and for the proper administration of justice including for women and girls will continue to draw active support from people of conviction the world over (amnesty.org)."
Language has lost its meaning for Ms. Gilmore and Amnesty International. How can one be against torture, against the death penalty and pro-justice but some how think that Abortion is neither torture nor death?
