Catholics Vs Amnesty International

This is one of those arguments which is risky to get involved with because it is very emotive, although that shouldn't really stop anyone.
If there is something at the core of Catholic teaching and in Amnesty's mission it's the sanctity of human life and the right for human beings to live in dignity and love, this is a Catch 22 situation for some. On one hand it is an experience too horrible for words for a woman to find she is pregnant as a result of being raped. On the other there is the value of human life even when it is in the womb.
There are no hard and fast solutions as such and it's one we all need to hold in prayer and deal with in a sensitive and thoughtful manner
