U.s. Catholic Bishops Oppose Amnesty

U.S. Catholic Bishops Oppose Amnesty International's Pro-Life View
by Bishop William S. Skylstad (Opinion)

After nearly a year of dialogue with leaders of Amnesty International (AI), the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops strongly protests the recent action of AI's International Council to promote worldwide access to abortion. This basic policy change undermines Amnesty's long-standing moral credibility and unnecessarily diverts its mission. In promoting abortion, Amnesty divides its own members (many of whom are Catholics and others who defend the rights of unborn children) and jeopardizes its support by people in many nations, cultures and religions who share a consistent commitment to all human rights. Amnesty International's action will lead many people of conscience to seek alternative means to end grave human rights abuses, fight injustice, and promote freedom of conscience and expression. The essential work of protecting human life and promoting human dignity must carry on. We must continue to oppose the use of the death penalty and the crushing effects of dehumanizing poverty. We must continue to stand with prisoners of conscience, refugees and migrants, and other oppressed peoples. But we will seek to do so in authentic ways, working most closely with organizations who do not oppose the fundamental right to life from conception to natural death.

Amnesty Oppose Bishops Catholic Us

I am not Catholic but I am Proud of those Bishop's Decisions to fight Amnesty International on access for worldwide abortion.

Regardless if you think Abortion is right or wrong, why is it a Human Right's issue for a woman to recieve a free Abortion?

Kudos to you Catholics, Keep up the good work.
