Bogotá, Colombia, Oct 23, 2009 / 04:26 pm (CNA).- Colombia’s Council of State has provisionally suspended regulations allowing abortions to be performed in the country, thus prohibiting any clinic from performing the procedure until its legal status is resolved.

According to several media reports, the decision by the Council of State does not overrule the Constitutional Court’s decision in 2006 to legalize abortion in cases of rape, fetal deformation or life of the mother.

The decision is part of an order to examine a request that the high court’s ruling be overturned.  The Council will determine whether or not the regulations should be enshrined in law by the Congress.

But doesn't that decision generate more homeless children when parents do not have wealth to have children. This means more poor households, criminal activity, partisans and drug plantations for columbia. Which already flourish there.

This is great news for Colombia! We need to stand up and defend life, especially those who can't defend themselves. Colombians, let's keep praying!
