Mexico City, Mexico, May 11, 2007 / 10:53 am
In statements to the Mexican daily “Cambio de Sonora,” a lawmaker from the Party of National Action (PAN) called on members of the Mexico City legislative assembly to reverse its decision to legalization abortion and to heed the words of Benedict XVI on the issue.
Representative Luis Fernando Rodriguez Ahumada said the Mexican people would welcome this gesture.
He noted as well that the issue of abortion has not been discussed in the Mexican Congress and that at the national level it would be treated completely different than in Mexico City, where opposition to the measure was crushed by the ruling party.
Rodriguez Ahumada stressed that the PAN platform does not support anti-life policies and that a national law in favor of abortion would not be as easily passed as in the Mexican capital.
