Pro-life march in Nicaragua leads Congress to propose ban on all abortions
Managua, Oct. 11, 2006 (CNA) - In the wake of a massive pro-life march that brought together more than 10,000 people in Managua to defend the life of the unborn, the leader of the country’s National Assembly, Sandinista Rene Nuñez, has sponsored a measure to reform Nicaragua’s Penal Code and outlaw all abortions.
“Together with the bishops and the Catholic Church of Nicaragua and with the pastors of the evangelical church, we commit ourselves to seeking out the quickest way to do so, which in this case would be the reform of the current Penal Code,” Nuñez said outside the congressional offices.
Thousands of Nicaraguans took the streets in recent days to protest a proposal to change the country’s Constitution to allow “therapeutic abortion.”
