Mexico City, Mexico, May 22, 2009 / 02:57 pm (CNA).- The San Luis de Potosi State Congress in Mexico approved a measure Thursday reforming the State Constitution to protect the right to life of children from the moment of conception.

Representative Vicente Toledo Alvarez said the reform would ensure that the State’s Constitution clearly recognizes the right to life as the most basic of all human rights and protects it from the moment of conception.
 
Before passage of the measure, Archbishop Luis Morales Reyes of San Luis Potosi said, “The Church has her principles and one of them is life. I am only stating that the Church supports life and will always support life, regardless of the politics or laws of the moment.”
 
“God is the only owner of every life conceived by woman, and as such that life will always have rights, the most important of which is the right to life,” the archbishop said.
 
San Luis de Potosi now becomes the twelfth Mexican state to enshrine protection for the unborn into its Constitution. The protections became necessary after Mexico City legalized abortion in some cases.

This is awesome! Now this is justice. America, we need to keep on praying to Our Lord and Our Lady that this evil will be eliminated from our country. It can happen or like they say in Mexico "Si Se Puede!" Good for you San Luis Potosi, Mexico.

It is very nice to see a country like Mexico that has a deep devotion to Our Lady begin to respect life like this. Pro-Life people in the USA, keep pushing on. Even though we have a disgustingly pro-death administration we will not succumb to that destructive mentality. God bless America.

The Mexican states may pass laws but they cannot protect their citizens from the narco traficantes or their young women from death by back alley abortions.

I see OUR LADY at work in this matter. I pray that OUR FATHER in his infinite WISDOM will do the same for our country
.Please, everyone, before you fall asleep this evening, dedicate a rosary to OUR MOTHER for the abolition of this dark and stealth evil among us.
