The Peruvian bishops' defense of life committee recently released a statement explaining that any law permitting abortion is an injustice, not a right.
The bishops' message was released to mark the Day of the Unborn Child on March 25.
Only “ignorant minds opposed to the truth” could fail to recognize the human nature of the unborn as confirmed by science and the law, the statement continued.
The committee rejected the idea that the life of an unborn child is not as important as the mother’s just because the child does not yet “occupy a place in the world.”
