More overview of ABORTION CRISIS IN MEXICO:
Tragic news for preborn babies!
In a few days, on April 24, 2007, the legislature for Mexico City hopes to push through a proposal to legalize abortion in one of the largest cities in the world. Legislators from Mexico’s leftist parties expect to use the legalization in their nation’s capital as a springboard to liberalize the brutal practice of child-killing throughout the country.
Despite the fact that most Mexicans oppose abortion, pro-abortion lawmakers seek to take advantage of their slight majority in the Mexico City legislature to force the measure through. If passed, the law would also make the state pay for abortions at state run health clinics.
Secret abortions on minors may follow soon. According to CatholicNewsAgency.com, the director of the Institute for Youth in Mexico City, Javier Hidalgo, announced this week he would support a move to allow minors to obtain abortions without parental consent.
Hidalgo, a member of the Socialist PRD party, has supported efforts by the Mexico City Legislative Assembly to legalize abortion and told reporters that in cases of “unwanted pregnancies,†the State should assume responsibility for underage girls as in cases of guardianship.
Opposition to the pro-abortion bill has been gaining strength. People around the world are working to prevent the legalization of abortion in Mexico.
Now is time to make your pro-life voice heard. Today, there’s an easy way to help save moms and babies from abortion in Mexico. As Americans, let’s voice our objection to this horrific bill which is clearly contrary to both natural law and divine law.
More than 45 million babies have been aborted in America because of Roe vs. Wade.
Help prevent the tragedy of what legalized abortion -- human sacrifice – will bring to Mexico.
PROTEST NOW! Send one simple email to 64 Mexico City lawmakers at:

P.S. Here is the Spanish and English transcript of the pro-life Chespirito TV spot.
Hola soy su amigo Chespirito. Cuando estaba yo en el vientre de mi madre, ella sufrio un accidente que la puso al borde de la muerte. El medico le dijo, “Tendras que abortar†y ella respondio: “Abortar yo? Jamas!†Es decir, que defendio la vida, MI vida. Y gracias a ello estoy aquÃ.
Banner afterwards reads: ABORTEMOS LA LEY, NO LA VIDA
Hello, I am your friend Chespirito. When I was in my mother’s womb, she suffered an accident that threatened her life. A doctor told her that she had to have an abortion to which she replied: “I would never have an abortion!†So, she defended life, MY LIFE and thanks to that I am here with you today.
Banner afterwards: (Let’s abort the law, not life)

I have not checked the www.profile.com website for where this information is found. I will see if I can find a link.
I did email this to Ann Ball (Catholic book publisher). She is devoted to Blessed Miguel Pro (Mexican Martyr), and she will ask his intercession.
Maybe you can ask people on your ping list to email a copy of the message to people by cut and paste from this web page.
Prayer and fasting is something people in the US can do to help...
