DEACON FOR LIFE

Were there to be no support in the whole history of ethical and moral thought, were there no acknowledged confirmation from medical science, were the history of legal opinion to the contrary, we would still have to conclude on the basis of God's Holy Word that the unborn child is a person in the sight of God. He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL'S NEW ABORTION POLICY

Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone condemns the ratification of Amnesty International�s new abortion policy

Rome, Aug 21, 2007 / 10:44 am (CNA).- "We cannot ever destroy life, we must always save life even if it is the fruit of violence," exclaimed Cardinal Bertone in an exclusive interview with Vatican Radio about Amnesty International's new abortion policy.

The human rights organization recently decided to change its policy from a position of neutrality to one that supports abortion, but did so without consulting its members.

However, this past week the organization�s delegates overwhelmingly approved the new policy at their meeting in Mexico City. The new protocol calls for abortion to be made available in the case of rape and requires the organization to push for the legalization of abortion in countries where it is currently outlawed.
