Mexico City, Mexico, Apr 23, 2009 / 11:41 am
The legislature of the Mexican state of Quintana Roo has approved a law protecting human life and guaranteeing the rights of the unborn, from conception to natural death.
The new law reads: “The State of Quintana Roo recognizes, protects and guarantees the right to life of all human beings by expressly maintaining that from the moment of conception they fall under the protection of the Law and are granted all legal corresponding rights until death, except in the exceptions established by the Law.”
The measure passed with support from lawmakers of every party.
Quintana Roo now joins Sonora, Baja California, Morelos, Jalisco, Puebla, Colima, Durango and Nayarit as states that have passed laws protecting life from conception to natural death.
