Buenos Aires, Argentina, Nov 25, 2008 / 18:53 pm
Archbishop Hector Aguer of La Plata in Argentina said this week that plans are “advancing” in Argentina to legalize abortion and that “Herod’s shadow” is engulfing the Argentinean Congress.
The archbishop warned that efforts to loosen the country’s laws on abortion are in reality intended to ensure abortion on demand.
“While it may seem an exaggeration to talk about Herod in this case of abortion and the killing of innocents, Vatican II already pointed out that abortion and infanticide are abominable crimes,” he said.
He warned Argentineans of the danger that is on the horizon for their country and urged them to “have a clear conscience about this problem, this danger, and a true clamor in support of life needs to spring forth.”
