Australian school cuts ties with Amnesty International over abortion policy

CNA reports that the headmaster of Sydney's St Aloysius College, Fr. Chris Middleton, has confirmed that his school will cut its ties with Amnesty International because of its policy that promotes abortion in some cases.
According to Fr. Middleton, Amnesty International has crossed a line that cannot be crossed. “[T]his policy explicitly excludes some of the most vulnerable members of society – the ‘unborn human’ – from its campaigns for human rights. To my mind this goes right to the core of Amnesty as a human rights organisation and as a body that gives primacy to conscience.”
