Dominican Republic Bishop Víctor Masalles described some of the international pressure the country faces to legalize abortion and write LGBT 'protections' into law.
BANÍ, Dominican Republic (LifeSiteNews) — Legislators in the Dominican Republic “received a warning from the American embassy that if they don’t legalize abortion” and write LGBT protections into law, “they’re gonna be without visa[s],” one of the nation’s Catholic bishops said.
Bishop Víctor Masalles of the Diocese of Baní told LifeSiteNews that the pressure the Dominican Republic is facing to legalize abortion is intense.
In the Dominican Republic, “the government knows the Congress is pro-life, and that’s a beautiful thing,” said Masalles, but “the president of the Senate [and] the president of the representatives” have been put on notice by the U.S. that they need to liberalize their laws or face diplomatic sanctions such as the loss of visas, said Masalles.
UNICEF is lobbying Dominican Republic politicians, too, the bishop said.
“We don’t have discrimination” in the Dominican Republic, said the bishop, but there is nevertheless a campaign to write supposedly anti-discrimination LGBT protections into the law.

Better to be banned from the United States because you took a stand against the murder of innocents than to be banned from Heaven because you valued the approval of men.
Obscene.
I don’t think Russia is doing this. We are. Keep in mind when criticizing Russia.
If true, how dare we. If not true,how dare he.
Oh … the scum in the administration want them to bow and scrape to the poofters too! Just noticed that. Murder of innocents isn’t enough for the Biden administration!
And yet truly intelligent liberals here in America say that conservative complaints about a culture war are not true, and that we Christians are just complaining about nothing.

Our government is pure evil, when I call them the evil ones, it’s literal.
If the US does this, then some of the US embassy staff could be expelled.
“Bow and worship Moloch or else”.
Seems the U.S. has become the Evil Empire.
Or one of them. We can only keep ourselves clean and our families, as well as we can. I’m beyond sickened. I’m sure there were a few good Jews in Israel when God gave them over to Pharoah and 400 years of sorrow.
Can saved souls escape the physical judgement God must surely have planned for us?
Hang on till November, things are going to change.
Well, the Dominican government rules, and the US State Department (and JRB, Jr.) can eat my boogers.
Very well said.
“Our values” and “who we are” and “democracy” at work yet again.
The democrats love, LOVE, killing babies and won’t be happy until everyone can kill their babies.
A bad day for Major League Baseball.
In the recent past, more than 10% of MLB players came from the Dominican Republic!
From memory, during that period, there were more D.R. players than Black American players!
