And the way they have done it looks pretty underhanded. From the article:
The new policy remains absent from Amnesty websites. A process of damage control appears to be in place. British Bishop Michael Evans, author of Amnesty's prayer and 30 years a member, describes this secretive process: "Amnesty seems to have tried very hard to keep the decision secret, stating that the policy would not be made public at this time, and that no Amnesty section or structure was to issue a press release, public statement or external communication of any kind on the decision."
The previous position on the abortion question was 'neutrality'.
I don't see how this can possibly be spun as an argument for human rights. Christian supporters of Amnesty should let them know what they think.

Wow, I didn't know that. Makes logical sense, doesn't it? Amnesty advocates protecting the right (and the sanctity?) of human life, but now supports abortion. I wonder how right Louie Armstrong was when he sang those lines, "What a wonderful world".
Thank you for highlighting this issue.
