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.

I will in no way try to dictate to another sovereign nation their laws

Just as I would expect nations not do the same to us

I am pro life in the extreme

[Publius6961]

Sorry to have to state the obvious, but.

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.

[jch10]

Sorry....not my business what laws they have in Mexico. And I don’t want them trying to tell us what to do either.
