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! |

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 |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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) |

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. |

As one who has worked diligently with Amnesty International in Portland,

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. |

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. |

humans, especially the weakest and most invisible: the unborn. |

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. |
