Amnesty falls victim to ‘distorted rationale’

I WISH to commend the Vatican and, more recently, Catholic Bishop Michael Evans of East Anglia for condemning Amnesty International’s pro-abortion policy. Amnesty has fallen victim to a distorted rationale that tends to place a higher priority on human suffering than on life itself.

Amnesty falls victim to ‘distorted rationale’

Contrary to Amnesty’s new position, human welfare depends upon a shared responsibility that involves moral limits. There are no ‘small’ murders. When man’s conscience loses respect for life as something sacred, he inevitably ends by losing his own identity.

While the term ‘choice’ may sound democratic, the person who opts for abortion is neglecting to consider the fundamental right to life of the mother’s unborn foetus.
