Amnesty International drop Abortion Neutrality

As a youngster, I remember questioning an Amnesty Internatial speaker at my school about whether the organization was doing anything to protect the human rights of the unborn. As I recall, he was rather taken aback by the question, but did make me aware of the charity's position of neutrality. Now, however, that policy has been changed, as this BBC News story explains:

Amnesty International has confirmed its controversial decision to back abortion in some circumstances, replacing its previous policy of neutrality.
The human rights group will campaign for woman to have access to abortion in cases including rape and incest.
[...]
The decision in April by Amnesty's executive committee to support access to abortion for women in cases of rape, incest or violence, or where the pregnancy jeopardises a mother's life or health was greeted with an outcry by churches.
Roman Catholic leaders in particular accused Amnesty of betraying its commitment to human rights, and a senior Vatican official called on Catholics to stop funding it.
But Amnesty's international council - meeting in Mexico - has overwhelmingly supported the decision, insisting it was upholding the ability of women to exercise their sexual and reproductive rights free from coercion and violence.

Personally, I find that more and more of my charitable giving is going to Aid to the Church in Need which does some splendid work.
