Courageous move of Poland on right to life in a thread by wagglebee...
WARSAW, September 6, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) -The European Commission's proposal to establish a European Day Against the Death Penalty has come under sharp criticism from Poland, which says the European Union (EU) instead needs to promote a day dedicated to the protection of all human life.
In the proposed declaration, the EU and the Council of Europe "stress the importance of persevering in the pursuit of actions aimed at abolishing the death penalty in the world" and "invite European citizens to support the abolition of the death penalty in the world and thereby contribute to the development of fundamental rights and human dignity."
However Poland has objected to the notion that "development of fundamental rights and human dignity" can take place without being placed in the context of the "right to life."
