News From the Border

Providing the news from a different front but from a war that we must win as well! I recognize the poverty and desperate conditions that many Latinos live in. We, as the USA, have a responsibility to do as much as we can to reach out to aid and assist spiritually with the Gospel and naturally with training, technology and resources. But poverty gives no one the right to break the laws of another sovereign nation.

MEXICO CITY – Leftist lawmakers sent Congress a bill to legalize abortion on Tuesday, the third such recent proposal in Mexico where the issue has divided the nation and drawn interest from the Vatican.

Under the bill filed in the lower house by the Democratic Revolution Party, or PRD, the second-largest force in Congress, women would be able to have an abortion within the first three months of pregnancy.

“We are in favor of women's life. We don't want women to stop their pregnancies...but we have a stubborn reality,” said Rep. Maricela Contreras.

PRD senators and legislators in Mexico City's assembly have both filed similar bills recently sparking virulent criticism from the Roman Catholic Church and conservative National Action Party of Felipe Calderón.
