.- The
National Assembly of Nicaragua is set to debate a proposal on Thursday
that would reform the country’s Penal Code and allow for therapeutic
abortion in that country.
The president of
the Bishops’ Committee on Family Ministry, Bishop Juan Abelardo, as
well as the president of the Nicaraguan Association for Life, Dr.
Rafael Jose Cabrera, published a letter to the country’s legislators on
March 25 urging that the statute be eliminated from the reform
proposals.
The letter also
denounced efforts by abortion clinics to secure approval of the new
Code, underscoring that the clinics are interested in providing
abortions “to any woman for any reason, with the only requirement being
a signature of approval from the woman, her spouse or a close relative,
and the signatures of three doctors.”
Similarly, the
letter called for the preservation of morality and family values in
Nicaragua, reminding lawmakers that the nobility of their words and
actions must correspond to the responsibility they have as leaders of
the country.
