\u201cWe are faced with a severe crisis here at Amnesty International,\u201d goes the pleading donation appeal.<\/p>\n

Yes. Well. I have no doubt you are, Mr. Cox. That could have something to do with the fact that you are no longer about helping political prisoners subjected to torture and death, and have instead dedicated yourselves to expanding the abortion license worldwide? When you mutate into another garden-variety promoter of the culture of death, it rather stands to reason that people who think you should be doing what you were founded to do and not the exact bleedin\u2019 opposite will find other places to send their money<\/a>.
