Mexico City, Mexico, Apr 29, 2009 / 17:38 pm
Archbishop Alberto Suarez Inda of Morelia has expressed his support of a proposal to make Michoacan the eleventh Mexican state to protect the right to life from conception to natural death.
“Any time is a good time for the law to conform to moral values,” Archbishop Suarez Inda told reporters, after Representative Francisco Morelos Borja of the PAN party announced his decision to sponsor a right to life law.
“In the states where similar measures have been adopted, which if I’m not mistaken are eleven, the reasons given by scientists, the reasons given by doctors, the reasons given by biologists are what have convinced many lawmakers to reform the law to precisely show that this is about a person who has rights, the fundamental right to life,” the archbishop explained.
He said the Church would always support officials who use their authority to defend the rights of the defenseless, and the most defenseless of all are the unborn.”
