Amnesty and abortion: bishop resigns

A Catholic bishop, the Rt.Rev Michael Evans, has sadly resigned from Amnesty International after 31 years support and membership.  The issue, as we reported earlier, is Amnesty's support for abortion rights.  The Bishop says - "If Amnesty International becomes an organisation which affirms the right to abortion, even under certain circumstances, it is free democratically to do so.  But it cannot expect those of us who are just as passionate about the human rights of the unborn child to feel at ease being part of such an organisation."
