Australian Bishops Call on Catholics to Reject Amnesty International

The bishops of Australia have requested that relationships with this once respected human rights group be severed. This is in response to Amnesty's recent policy decision to support legal abortion. Archbishop Philip Wilson of Adelaide states that their current position conflicts with the Catholic understanding of human dignity. The bishops urge Catholics and others who believe that human dignity spans from natural conception to natural death to find other ways of protecting and promoting human rights.
