Amnesty International Demands Abortion Decriminalization in Latin America

Amnesty Demands Abortion Decriminalization in Latin America � Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute: Amnesty specifically targeted Chile, El Salvador, and Nicaragua, saying it is “disgraceful” these countries have laws criminalizing abortion in all circumstances. The once abortion-neutral Amnesty International—founded by a Catholic convert in 1961—has emerged as a vocal proponent for abortion. The human rights group received a $1,000,000 grant in 2009 from the Ford Foundation, a long-time proponent of population control that funds organizations that promote abortion and contraception in developing countries.
