Mexico City, Mexico, Mar 29, 2010 / 11:50 am
In a recent article for the newspaper, “El Grafico,” Mexican pro-life expert Carolina Beauregard applauded actions by 18 of the country's states to establish legal protections for the unborn and encouraged the remaining states to pass similar pro-life laws.
Beauregard, who advises several Mexican pro-life groups, wrote that the constitutional reforms protecting life in 18 Mexican states advanced with the overwhelming majority of political parties and strong support by the people. She added that support for the right to life is on the rise, despite efforts by some groups in opposition.
“Lawmakers are seeking to protect the lives of the unborn and the mother at the same time,” she explained, noting that in some states, women who undergo an abortion are sentenced to community service instead of a prison term.
Beauregard called on all organizations in Mexico to safeguard the right to life, underscoring that “we should reflect on the kind of society that we want - one in which life is valued and defended above any circumstance.”
