Abortion Permanently a Crime in Dominican Republic
Abortion Permanently a Crime in the Dominican Republic, Pro-life Victory Comes with a Vote of 167 to 32
by Staff
April 29, 2009
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic, (christiansunite.com) -- In response to recent efforts by international pro-abortion groups seeking to decriminalize abortion in the Dominican Republic, legislators permanently enshrined the right to life for pre-born humans by rewriting the Constitution of the Dominican Republic with the words "the right to life is inviolable from conception until death."
The vote of 167 to 32 was held yesterday afternoon and served as a major victory to those working to protect all human life.
A pro-life coalition recently traveled to the Santo Domingo to raise awareness about abortion during the hearings of this bill. The young people in this coalition of organizations included Faithful Soldier School of Evangelism, Live Action San Jose, and Personhood USA.
The group joined with local missionary Dr Gene Antonio to distribute over 50,000 pieces of literature about abortion from Human Life Alliance.
"A true respect for human life is protecting it from the beginning, the Dominican Republic is ahead of America in building a society where all human life is truly respected." said Ignacio Reyes Director of Live Action San Jose
The group made a major impact by showing a graphic video of an actual abortion procedure on dozens of national television programs which broadcast to millions of Dominicans.
"We are thrilled that the protection of human life from the moment of conception is now established into the constitution in-spite of fierce international pressure to legalize abortion," stated Dr. Gene Antonio, Pro-life Missionary in the Dominican Republic. He continued "This overwhelming victory serves as an example to the other Latin countries fighting to protect life, that we can win and we must win because the lives of little people are at stake."
"As we continue to fight for the personhood rights of the Pre-born in America, we celebrate and applaud the protection of Life in the Dominican Republic. The people on the small Caribbean island understand that all life is precious and should be protected! We pray that America catches on soon" said Keith Mason of Personhood USA
Personhood USA is a grassroots Christian organization founded to establish personhood efforts across America to create protection for every child by love and by law. Personhood USA is committed to assisting and supporting Personhood Legislation and Constitutional Amendments and building local pro-life organizations through raising awareness of the personhood of the pre-born.

Re: Abortion Permanently a Crime in Dominican Repu
So do they not allow for the protecting of the life of the mother?

There are many thousands of Doctors who work from a perspective of protecting BOTH lives involved - there is no need to choose.
This bill states ""the right to life is inviolable from conception until death."
In other words the baby is no longer disposable "tissue", but viewed as the person they are. I don't think it prohibits taking a baby early to lower the risks of one or both the mother and child.

Sorry Jermyn, that is one of the weakest excuses for abortion that they have.

That is, imo, the only justifiable reason for one.

Re: Abortion Permanently a Crime in Dominican Repu
I wonder how many women choose not to abort if told they can die if she doesn't. And how often do women die if they don't have abortions?
