On April 24, the legislative assembly of Mexico City hopes to push through a proposal to legalize abortion in one of the largest cities in the world. The American TFP is joining the efforts of many pro-life organizations in protesting the move.
Send the following protest email once and it will be sent to each of the 64 legislators of the Mexico City Legislative Assembly.
To the Honorable Legislator of the Assembly of Mexico City:
Please vote NO on abortion. As an American, I have seen the devastating consequences that legalized abortion has brought to the United States of America. More than 45 million babies have been killed and millions of women suffer physical and emotional pain because of legalized abortion in America. Please vote against any attempt to legalize this shameful practice which is so clearly condemned by natural and divine law.
Opposing the brutal act of abortion is a matter that transcends borders. It is enough to be human to be against abortion since our very nature cries out against this crime. Please, do not stain the honor of your great nation and city by legalizing abortion. Please do not act against the Faith of millions of Mexicans.

Special Pro-Life PING.
SPECIAL PING.
I applaud your efforts. Something of concern in Mexico, however, are all the illegal abortions. Laws don’t mean much in Mexico.
And in America, more latinas are having abortions than white Americans.
In 2000, there were 14.8 abortions per 1,000 non-Hispanic white adolescent females ages 15-19, compared with and 30.3 per 1,000 among Hispanic adolescent females.
The Alan Guttmacher Institute has reported that 106,620 hospitalizations in Mexico every year are due to complications from unsafe abortion: 23 percent of all pregnancies are unwanted, and 17 percent end in abortion.
* Number of abortions each year as estimated by international and non-governmental organizations: 500,000 to 1,500,000

The perception of Hispanics as conservative is misshapen by the political behavior of Florida’s Cubans, who are indeed overwhelmingly Republican. But on the question of gay marriage, for instance, Hispanics were at the national average (54 percent opposed). Professor Green has found a big difference between Hispanic Catholics and Hispanic Protestants, with the latter group more conservative than the former. American Hispanic Catholics, it turns out, aren’t that religious. Professors Louis Bolce and Gerald De Maio put voters into three groups according to religious intensity-”traditionalists,” “moderates,” and “secularists.” Only 10 percent of Hispanics turned out to be traditionalists-this fraction in the African-American community was much larger. So, Republicans shouldn’t assume that issues like abortion will lure large numbers of Hispanic Catholics.

Just as I would expect nations not do the same to us
I am pro life in the extreme
Thank you for the ping, brother. ... Indeed, secular humanism is now to be the greater religion in Mexico too. Sad that the rulers of Mexico would be so dead of soul.
Citizens are hardly able to “dictate” laws to any government; their own or other. But in a free society they should be able to voice their opinion on any and all matters. Human rights especially.
What I do see as dictatorial is our own government and many others, via NGO (Nongovernmental org) proxies such as Planned Parenthood, forcing “Family Planning” policies onto other nations all over the planet. More accurately called Population control through abortion and coerced contraception and sterilization.
Thanks!
Thank you cpforlife.org!
And let’s send it to our friends this evening.
I have no more business telling Mexico what they should or should not do about anything --- no more so than what Mexicans can tell the US and its citizens what to do about anything.
Sorry.
What about the US government and private citizens and groups working overseas to stop hunger and human rights abuses? Should we stop?
What about everything else countries discuss debate agree and disagree on. Hell; nations are discussing the freaking weather but not this?
Should we have stayed silent after 9-11?
Are you Christian? Should the people who spread the Gospel never travel out of their home countries? Did Christ command His Word be spread to all the corners of earth and over boarders?
You’re copping out, friends.
Sorry....not my business what laws they have in Mexico. And I don’t want them trying to tell us what to do either.
See # 16.
bump to the top!
