Amnesty International

Amnesty International is a non-profit organization which does important work keeping human rights issues in the forefront of public consciousness as well as offering support to prisoners of conscience. Unfortunately, they have decided to tarnish their mission by including abortion as one of the fundamental human "rights" they work to promote and defend. I took the opportunity of a fundraising letter I received from them to voice my disapproval.
To whom it may concern,

Thank you for the opportunity to sign a card in support of prisoners of conscience.

Unfortunately, in conscience, I cannot make a monetary contribution to your important work because of your organization's support for abortion.

Your failure to recognize the rights and dignity of the most vulnerable among us - namely, the unborn - undermines in a tragic way the goal you seek to achieve. If a government can revoke or fail to recognize the rights of any one of us, how can we then stop it from violating the dignity of all of us?

I pray that your important work of calling to the world's attention the violation of human rights by governments will continue unabated. Nonetheless, I must protest in the strongest terms possible your exclusion of human persons at their most vulnerable stage of development from among those who deserve protection.
