Mexico City, Mexico, May 2, 2007 / 09:48 am
Eduardo Verastegui, one of the most successful Mexican actors in Hollywood today, has become one of the strongest voices against the legalization of abortion in Mexico City.
He rediscovered the faith of his parents in the most unlikely place on the planet and he has no fear of public rejection for his denouncing of the holocaust of abortion. Verastegui has revealed his pro-life convictions to various Mexican media outlets and he has created an organization in California to help those in need, especially women who are seeking abortions.
In an interview with the magazine “Hola,” he said he was “very frustrated over what is happening in Mexico today. I think there is tremendous manipulation of the news that the Mexican people are being given. The law cannot be based on lies, because abortion is a crime. That is a scientifically proven fact,” Verastegui said. Abortion “is a terrible holocaust in which millions of innocents are ‘legally’ dying. It’s something so grave, so profound, it goes beyond any philosophy or religion,” he added.
The Mexican actor went on to say there is no justification for abortion. “Let women do with their bodies what they wish, but the baby? What happens to the baby who has no voice and can defend himself? Perhaps 100 years ago there could have been doubts, only by faith could one think that there was life from the moment of conception. But today it is something scientifically proven, there is no doubt.”
