411 12 Nov 2006 - 2:25    Clair Pirnia : I believe that NO person has the "right" to commit violence against another person. We must work together to protect all people from the violence of abortion, war, euthanasia, racism, poverty and capital punishment! Choose life. Help create a more just and humance society!

414 16 Nov 2006 - 6:21    Dr. Daniel Lieuwen :
415 16 Nov 2006 - 6:47    Grace Potts : Please know that I have been an active supporter of AI since high school - more than 20 years - and could not in good conscience continue to support an organization that advocates for legal abortion.
416 17 Nov 2006 - 3:12    Ada Horton :
417 17 Nov 2006 - 19:59    Laura Fortmeyer : I have been a member of Amnesty International since the 1980's and would be appalled if it took a position of support for abortion in any way.
418 21 Nov 2006 - 19:11    Jonathan M. Davis : You wisely oppose the death penalty, please don't ruin your moral authority by defending the termination of unborn children.
419 22 Nov 2006 - 3:38    Charles McCarthy : Mother Teresa said “Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use violence to get what it wants."
420 22 Nov 2006 - 20:57    trina sensenig : I am very disappointed at your abortion-right stand.
421 22 Nov 2006 - 21:06    Jose Carbonell :
422 23 Nov 2006 - 17:03    lisa samson : Keep to your course, AI. You'll lose a lot of usl.
423 24 Nov 2006 - 5:47    Paul Anderson : As a member of Amnesty International Urgent Appeals network I am quite disturbed at this foray into this decisive issue. The departure in this case from a focus on prisoners jeapordizes Amnesty's effectiveness. neutrality has woeked in the past and should continue to do so
424 25 Nov 2006 - 3:48    Marie Yeast : I have been a support of Amnesty International for quite a while, and have responded to alerts on torture and human rights violations. However, if A.I. decides to adopt a stand that abortion is a right, then I will no longer be able to support Amnesty's efforts. I can't support a position that goes against my faith and reason. Life is sacred at all stages--from the womb to the tomb. It's much more important to get at the root causes that lead women to think that abortion is their only option, or that a man can force a woman to get an abortion. Abortion is not peaceful process, but a violent one--which has also brought much suffering and regret to women physically and emotionally who have had abortions. I agree with Consistent Life Supporters of A.I. that the long-standing neutrality position of A.I. on abortion is the reasonable compromise.
425 25 Nov 2006 - 4:49    Jim Carole : I've been active in AI action alerts.
426 25 Nov 2006 - 5:33    John Pettit : As a long time active supporter of AI, writer of letters I'm greatly concerned that AI is abandoning its neutral stance re abortion.
427 25 Nov 2006 - 5:58    Matthew C. Scallon : AI needs to follow its own credo in support of the UN Treaty on Human Rights, which includes life inside the womb.
428 28 Nov 2006 - 2:53    Lawrence Couch : I have been a member and supporter of Amnesty International for many years. I greatly value the important work of AI, especially during this time when many of our leaders fail to condemn the practice of torture. However, if AI endorses abortion I will no longer support AI as an organization. Abortion is simply another form of torture and killing.
429 28 Nov 2006 - 3:46    Christian Wainwright : It would be very unfortunate for Amnesty International to make Abortion Rights one of its rights. It has the grave potential of alienating the faith community, and their long support for AI's international work. The loss would be AI's and the many imprisoned people AI supports around the world.
430 28 Nov 2006 - 6:36    Andrew : This step would greatly undermine the mission of this great organization.
431 30 Nov 2006 - 2:00    Rebecca Redetzke :
432 30 Nov 2006 - 4:44    Stuart Stelzer : In supporting the work of Amnesty since the 1980s, I have meant to embrace the idea that to destroy a single life is to destroy a whole world, even as to save a single life is to save a whole world. (Mishna, Sanhedrin 4:5)
433 4 Dec 2006 - 7:15    Janelle Gapp : The unborn child is a human too, with RIGHTS. They are defenseless and innocent, all the more in need of protection. Humans do not have the right to kill innocent human beings. How is abortion a right? It is a "convenience" at the expense of life.
434 5 Dec 2006 - 2:32    Robert Bailey : If any group is deserving of amnesty, it is certainly the Preborn.
435 13 Dec 2006 - 22:29    Robert J. Castagna : As one who has worked diligently with Amnesty International in Portland, Oregon to oppose the death penalty, I strongly urge Amnesty International to maintain its long-standing position of neutrality on abortion.
436 17 Dec 2006 - 9:51    William Gall :
437 22 Dec 2006 - 18:33    John Whitehead : I have donated money to Amnesty International and have been part of AI Letter Writing and Urgent Action campaigns in the past. I respect AI as an advocate for human rights. To abandon a neutral stance on this issue in favor of support for decriminalizing abortion comes as a bitter disappointment to me. It helps transform AI into a far more one-sided, partisan organization than it once was.
438 27 Dec 2006 - 4:53    Stephen Devlin, Ph.D. : Why would AI look to embrace an act of violence, and marginalize its supporters who oppose that violence? Ultimately, this will be an embarrassment for AI.
439 27 Dec 2006 - 9:00    Matthew Hale : I have supported AI for years and plan to increase my giving and advocacy in the coming year.
440 28 Dec 2006 - 7:11    christopher pyle : I am a member of AI. Please keep the issue of abortion "nuertral" rather than an international right.
441 31 Dec 2006 - 9:06    Linda Bailey : It is an oxymoron for a great organization like AI to support abortion. Don't do it.
442 3 Jan 2007 - 1:33    Judith J. Jager :
443 7 Jan 2007 - 5:13    Ericka Manthey : I have been a member of AI for many years, but will not support any organization that deems the killing of children a "human right."
444 11 Jan 2007 - 22:58    Katherine Henkels :
445 22 Jan 2007 - 0:11    James J Uhlenkamp : I've been a member of AI since 1989, and haven given beyond the annual membership fee. I've been a member of the Urgent Action group and have written many letters beyond that. I strongly urge AI to protect ALL humans, especially the weakest and most invisible: the unborn.
446 22 Jan 2007 - 0:14    Chad Marzen, J.D. cand :
447 22 Jan 2007 - 5:46    Erika Uhlenkamp :
448 22 Jan 2007 - 17:31    Brian Winter : I've written countless letters for AI over the years in opposition to the death penalty, torture and other human rights violations. I find it horribly inconsistent for AI to oppose the death penalty for one class of humans (prisoners) and then to advocate it for another class i.e. unborn humans. Decriminalizing abortion will not - and has not - lead to improved social and economic conditions for women in either the developed or developing world. It has only resulted in the death of unborn innocents in addition to contributing to the ever increasing rates of women in poverty. AI knows all too well that violence toward any group of humans solves nothing. If AI chooses not to defend unborn humans very right to be then a reasonable compromise would be to remain neutral on the issue of abortion.
449 22 Jan 2007 - 19:13    Mary Hayes :
450 22 Jan 2007 - 21:06    Carroll Taylor : A human life is a human life no matter how old.
