During a recent visit to Paraguay, Mexican actor Eduardo Verastegui met with members of Parliament and expressed his satisfaction that the country has not passed laws legalizing abortion.
Verastegui visited Paraguay at the invitation of the Thomas More Institute at the Catholic University of Our Lady of the Assumption. The institute had previously awarded the actor the Thomas More Award for his clear stance defending life and family, which has required great courage and strength.
They noted that his courage and dedication to life were clearly expressed in the making of the film “Bella,” which demonstrates the need to defend human life.
During his stay, Verastegui met with Ariel Oviedo, President of the Chamber of Deputies of Paraguay. He also spoke with parliamentarians who expressed their commitment to defending life by passing just laws promoting and defending the dignity of all people.
