Montevideo, Uruguay, Nov 25, 2009 / 10:56 am
Thousands of Uruguayans participated in a massive pro-life march on Monday urging voters to elect a candidate for president on November 29 who will defend life and reject abortion.
Organizers said the march was intended to manifest opposition to attempts to legalize abortion in Uruguay and to mount a clear defense of the right to life from conception to natural death.
Carrying banners and signs urging voters to vote pro-life, protestors urged their fellow Uruguayans to show solidarity with pregnant women who are in need of assistance and to voice support for a new law in Parliament that would help them.
Pro-life leader Carlos Iafigliola said the choice was clear for those who value and appreciate the fundamental right to life, and he praised President Tabare Vazquez for his consistency and courage in defending the right to life.
