Washington DC, Apr 26, 2007 (CNA).- Women for Life International has joined the protest of Amnesty International's proposal to adopt a stance in favor of abortion. The pro-life group sent a letter to Amnesty International Executive Committee members informing them of their position.
 
 Since the human rights organization put “reproductive rights” on its agenda, numerous other pro-life groups have sent Amnesty International (AI) a similar message.
 
 AI's history has been to defend the very basic right to life and liberty of all human life, Women for Life noted. Adoption of a pro- abortion policy seriously undercuts the right to life through the destruction of other, less defenseless, human life.
 
 “Women for Life International is looking to AI to protect all women and children, born and pre-born, from the violence and exploitation of legal abortion,” said the organization’s written statement.
 
 "The proposed policy is not only in direct conflict of the United Nation's Universal Declaration of Human Rights … but adoption of such a policy will set a precedent for worldwide, unfettered fetal genocide; worldwide exploitation of pregnant women, especially poor women; and a worldwide epidemic of violence against women and the girl child,” said Molly White, co-founder of the U.S.-based pro-life group.
