Claudia Maria Simental from the Institute for Formation in Values in the Mexican state of Durango is calling on residents and officials to support pregnant women and protect life from the moment of conception.
“No pregnant woman in Durango should be left out in the cold by society and the government during her pregnancy,” Simental told reporters.
She said the state government and lawmakers should strengthen public policies in support of pregnant women to assist them in health care, education, employment and social security, especially given their vulnerable situation.
When a pregnant woman has more opportunities for a better future, the temptation to resort to abortion, with all of its tragic consequences, can be avoided, she added.
