I will no longer be able to support your organization if you consider
abortion a right. If you give parents rights to murder children, how can
you be a credible witness against any other form of murder? |

Please do not consider abortion just another human right. Although I have
great respect and compassion for those who seek abortions, that is very
different from simply advocating abortions. Go back to your neutral
position. |

I support this petition because I am an Amnesty member, and I support
Amnesty for what it is: a human rights organisation. No one can both
advocate the worst acts of violence and retain status as a defender of the
human. The laws of humanity guard the dignity and existence of human life
at all times and conditions. No one can change that. For complex social
and political reasons - but not genuine human rights reasons - there is
wide support for "choice" positions on abortion that are devoid
of any fair reflection of the true meanings of autonoumous choice, which
includes responsibility for the creation of new human life and universal
respect for its dignity. Amnesty will collapse if it supports abortion as
if it were a "right", and certainly if it lends credence to
nihilistic tendencies suggesting that destroying human life and violating
the laws of humanity can be a "human right", just as surely as a
"human rights" organisation that defended slavery would be a
contradiction in terms. And a new, genuine Amnesty organisation would have
to be established in its place, by those who are universally opposed to
violence, standing against the proponents of violence. Such a parting of
ways is likely to further polarise the abortion issue itself, where genuine
compassion for individuals unfortunately masks a reality where every year
in the world now more human lives are destroyed by abortion than the total
number of human lives destroyed in the entirety of the Second world war
including the Holocaust. Amnesty as an organisation has managed to avoid
this dilemma for perhaps too long, but it has done so by adopting
neutrality in the most fraught ethical issue of our generation, while at
the same time doing good in so many other ways. Only the latter
"positive" has off-set the negative of its not defending the
human at all times. But an organisation that positively REJECTS THE HU |

Thomas West :
In decades of support for Amnesty International and other human-rights
groups, writing countless letters to governments that practice torture,
disappearance, and the violation of civil liberties, I have taken it as
given that such practices are an affront to the sanctity of life. If I was
wrong in so viewing life, I could have spared myself the distress of having
to read reports of torture and other acts of oppression, and have done
with the whole time-consuming business of letter writing. That course I
will not follow. But please do not affirm a right to kill and in so doing
contradict the regard for life on which your mission depends. |
