Vatican Tells Christians To Stop Donating Money To Amnesty International Because They ‘Promote’ Abortion
This makes me so unbelievably angry, you have no idea..

The Vatican has urged all Catholics to stop donating money to Amnesty International, accusing the human rights group of promoting abortion.
The Vatican also said it was suspending all financial aid to Amnesty over what it said was the group’s recent change of policy on the issue.
Amnesty said it was not promoting abortion as a universal right.
But the group said that women had a right to choose, particularly in cases of rape or incest.
“No more financing of Amnesty International after the organisation’s pro-abortion about-turn,” said a statement from the Roman Catholic Church’s Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace.
‘Misrepresented account’
The council’s president, Cardinal Renato Martino, described abortion as “murder”.
“And to justify it selectively, in the event of rape, that is to define an innocent child in the belly of its mother as an enemy, as ‘something one can destroy’,” the cardinal said.
Amnesty says it does not take any position on whether abortion is right or wrong.
But it defended its new position in support of abortion for women when their health is in danger or human rights are violated, especially in cases of rape or incest.

I hate to tell you this but abortion is wrong. Not because it is murder but because it stupid. Why would you purposely prevent that child from being born, it will be a living thing. He or she could be a scientist who solves a major world problem. Even though they are not technically alive yet by aborting them you are depriving the world of a possible savior (in a non-religious sense)

Think about all those scientists who weren’t born because of all those selfish women out there who didn’t spend their whole lives being pregnant squeezing out babies!
By your logic, I could easily say condoms are “wrong”, planned parenthood is “wrong” and any ovulating woman who does not spend her whole life baring children is “wrong”. Not to mention all those horrible men who don’t make good use of all those billions of sperm he wastes every time he inseminates a woman.. those were all babies, and he didn’t let them come to fruition!
What a bogus claim. Telling a woman she can’t have an abortion is a complete violation of her body. You wouldn’t tell her she can’t have surgery to remove a tumor because it’s “a living thing”.. and guess what, a fetus in the first trimester has all the characteristics of a tumor.
Hey, and just think, maybe one of those babies you save from abortion.. might end up becoming an abortion doctor! what a conundrum!

Man, I’d say something about Notimportant, but you did a damn fine job Ian!

Oh wait, I actually do have something to say. Seriously. You speak of all the good people that may never be born due to abortion; but what about the evil ones? I mean, Hitler was born from a human woman, not raised in a test tube, or spawned in Hell. So abortion probably keeps us from having another Hitler-esque jackass causing problems for everyone.

So, according to you, I should insert a tube into my testicles, then connect it to other, smaller tubes(just big enough for one sperm cell, each of which are linked to a container with an egg, to insure that as many babies as possible are born?
“shudder”

No. I am quite curious about how you came to that conclusion, though. Care to explain?
