Guadalajara, Mexico, Mar 30, 2009 / 11:17 am
The Congress of the State of Jalisco has approved a reform of the state constitution so that it protects the right to life of the unborn from the moment of conception.
Representatives of one of the most important state legislatures in Mexico modified article 228 of the state constitution. Javier Guizar Macias of the PRI party said, “Instead of incarcerating someone who undergoes abortion…the reform stipulates giving the person medical care, psychological counseling, so that she can reflect on the issue.”
The measure passed by a vote of 31-0 with 2 abstentions.
