The Archbishop of Guadalajara, Cardinal Juan Sandoval Iniguez, slammed lawmakers in the state of Jalisco for ignoring a grassroots initiative supported by 53,000 signatures that calls for the protection of the unborn, when they decided to postpone debate on the measure until next year.
“I’m not a lawyer but it is wrong for lawmakers to decide” on their own to table discussion on an issue that is supported by more than 53,000 signatures, the cardinal said.
