4th Mexican State Places Pro-Life Amendment In Its Constitution

By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS
The Mexican state of Colima has become the fourth Mexican state to adopt a pro-life amendment to its state Constitution. LifeSite News reports that on Tuesday, state legislators unanimously adopted the amendment which provides in part: "Life is a right inherent in every human being. The State will protect and guarantee this right from the moment of conception." The amendment came after the legislature last month rejected a proposal to legalize abortion. Sponsors of the amendment say it was not religiously motivated. The legislative committee report on the bill says it is based on medical evidence. Similar amendments have been passed in the Mexican states of Baja California, Sonora, and Morelos. A suit is pending in Mexico's Supreme Court challenging the constitutionality of the Baja California amendment. (LifeSite News, Jan. 30).
