Amnesty International Stands Up to Catholic Church

In a move decried by the Roman Catholic Church and applauded by proponents of women and human rights, Amnesty international announced it’s decision to ditch a position of neutrality towards abortion. Instead, the international council has decided to actively campaign for a women’s right to an abortion in cases of rape, incest, violence and when a mother’s health is at risk.

Kudos to Amnesty for standing up for what they know is right for women.
