I find it very sad that Amnesty International, which has done so much good work over the years, has tainted its human rights credentials, not only by promoting legalised prostitution and the cause of pimps and users of persons in prostitution, but also in its virulent campaign for legalised abortion. It is disturbing to see promoters of legalised abortion using the tragic cases of those whose child has been diagnosed with a severe foetal abnormality as the wedge issue on which to destroy the eight amendment in this country when the reality is that those campaigners want to see abortion legalised in far wider circumstances, starting with but not confined to people with disability generally.
