  It worked earlier this morning for me. Basically it said Cardinal Renato, while on his visit here, warned Amnesty International that it will disqualify itself as a human rights organisation if it makes abortion a human right, which Amnesty plans to do so.

  CARDINAL WARNS AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL ON ABORTION STANCE
  Jun. 21 (CWNews.com) - Cardinal Renato Martino has warned that Amnesty International will lose credibility if it undertakes a lobbying campaign in favor of legal abortion.
  
  "I hope they don't do this, because if they do they are disqualified as defenders of human rights," the president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace told the Reuters news service.
  
  Cardinal Martino, who is in Singapore for ceremonies marking the 25th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Singapore and the Holy See, said that he has great respect for the work done by Amnesty International in the field of human rights. But he said that if the group abandons its neutrality on the abortion issue, it would undermine its own principles.
