“Amnesty International risks alienating some of its high profile rock star backers in the row over its decision to support women’s access to abortion,” the Sunday Times reported on August 20 2007. “The group has been accused of ‘duping’ the singers Chrstina Aguilera and Avril Lavigue, who have both made statements against abortion and are among contributors to an Amnesty CD released to raise money for survivors of the atrocities in Darfur.”
“Eric Whittington, director of Rock for Life, said ‘The human suffering going on right now in Darfur is horrific. To add insult to injury, however, using this tragic abuse of human rights to raise money for a pro-abortion organisation is hypocritical and beyond belief.”
