San José, Costa Rica, Dec 2, 2009 / 04:55 am
Some 50,000 people participated in the “Costa Rica March for Life and the Family” on November 28, which concluded with an address calling on officials to reject any law that would attack these fundamental values.
The address encouraged participants “to defend all human life” from conception to natural death. It also urged that marriage and the family be protected, “and for this reason we oppose, and we call on our representatives in the executive branch, legislative assembly and municipalities to reject any bill, policy or institutional activity” to the contrary.
“We are committed to exercising our sacred right to vote in a responsible way, voting for those who propose and are committed to defending and promoting human life, marriage and family in public office,” the statement indicated.
