Cardinal: Catholics should not fund Amnesty
A Vatican cardinal today said Catholics shouldn’t contribute to Amnesty International because of the group’s new policy that calls for access to abortion services for women under certain circumstances.
The human rights organisation reversed its long-time neutral stance on abortion in April and adopted a policy urging governments to ensure access to abortion services for women in the case of rape, incest or when pregnancy represents a risk to the mother’s life or a grave risk to her health.
