San Salvador, El Salvador, Oct 23, 2008 / 22:38 pm
Archbishop Fernando Saenz Lacalle of San Salvador has called on the Salvadoran government to place conditions upon the document that will be voted on at the upcoming Latin American Summit of Heads of State and Government. The convention will focus on the rights of young people and may impose abortion and gender ideology on the countries of the continent.
Archbishop Saenz Lacalle suggested the government add as a condition to the document that “all commitments made will be implemented taking into account the current legal and constitutional norms in each country.” Several countries in the region have been pushing for such an exception in order to prevent those in charge of drafting the document from imposing their ideology on sovereign nations.
