Abortion | Amnesty International bows to pressure from pro-abortion forces—and loses allies

For 20 years, author and researcher Rachel MacNair was a member of Amnesty International, the world's largest human-rights organization.

Then she wasn't. Then she was. Now she isn't.

Why the on-again/off-again relationship? In a word: abortion.

Amnesty International had earned MacNair's respect, as well as that of lawmakers and activists across the spiritual and political spectra, by reporting on and campaigning against human-rights abuses around the world.

MacNair, a Quaker, directs the research arm of Consistent Life, a coalition that advocates what it calls a "consistent ethic of reverence for life" that can be summarized generally as pacifist, anti--death penalty, and pro-life. She joined Amnesty in 1985 and kept her membership after the group expanded its agenda to include opposition to the death penalty.
