BUDAPEST, Hungary, April
23, /
Mexico City is set
to vote on legislation that would legalize
abortion up to 12 weeks on demand, this Tuesday,
April 24th. Even though polls generally say that
most citizens in Mexico oppose abortion, Steven
Ertelt of
Life News.com
stated in an article,
Mexico's People Oppose Legalizing Abortion
Second Poll Shows, that, "In Mexico City,
residents were in favor of legalizing abortion
on a slim 44-38 percent margin while citizens in
the rest of Mexico opposed abortion by a much
larger 58-23 percent split."
Phil Magnan, Director of Biblical Family
Advocates responded to the poll saying, "What a
sad commentary on the people of
Mexico city
who believe they can become better off by
killing their own children. If
Mexico
desires abortion because of economics or
unwanted unwed pregnancies, shouldn't they
pursue moral family affirming steps that do not
dismember and throw away their own children? The
answer is not birth control as much as it should
be self control. The answer is not killing
children; it's holding each other responsible
for our irresponsible relationships that have
undermined the sanctity of marriage.
Mexico
must once again come to know the living God who
calls them to holiness and compassion."
Biblical Family
Advocates encourages those who would like to
email the legislature in
Mexico
can do so by going to the
Hispanics for Life website.
Magnan continued by saying, "I believe this is a
very crucial time for the people of
Mexico
and even for the peoples of North and
South America.
We must stand together with one voice to be a
voice for these precious voiceless Mexican
children who are made in God's image. They
deserve better than to be wasted on the trash
heap of immorality and the selfish right to
choose abortion."
