Groups plan attack on Amnesty proposal
By BRIAN MURPHY
AP Religion WriterATHENS, Greece (AP) -- Famed for its human rights work, Amnesty International is under siege from religious groups outraged by a proposal that would expand Amnesty's mandate to include supporting access to abortion in cases such as sexual violence.
A small but growing band of anti-abortion campaigners and Roman Catholic clerics - including some who have backed Amnesty's activities in the past - claim the Nobel Prize-winning group is drifting away from its principles of unbiased advocacy.
They have threatened to pull away members and donations, and have called for a flood of protest letters to Amnesty offices - the same strategy Amnesty uses to pressure for the release of political prisoners and others.
Amnesty officials note that any decision is still more than a year away at the earliest, and defend their right to debate abortion and birth control within the context of women's rights.(後略)
