Abortion and Amnesty International
Amnesty International have decided to support abortion rights, according to this piece in The Australian. The way they have done it looks pretty underhanded:
The new policy remains absent from Amnesty websites. A process of damage control appears to be in place. British Bishop Michael Evans, author of Amnesty's prayer and 30 years a member, describes this secretive process: “Amnesty seems to have tried very hard to keep the decision secret, stating that the policy would not be made public at this time, and that no Amnesty section or structure was to issue a press release, public statement or external communication of any kind on the decision.”
The previous position on the abortion question was ‘neutrality’. I don't see how this can possibly be spun as an argument for human rights. Christian supporters of Amnesty should let them know what they think.
