Pastor Ezequiel Molina on Friday criticized the possibility of legalizing abortion in the Dominican Republic, noting that it is not a matter of legislation, but rather a matter of conscience and health.
He also said it was erroneously described as a “social advance” to achieve the decriminalization of abortion, as in some first world countries it has already approved it.
“In this modern time, killing the baby in her womb is a sign of progress and social progress. The backward countries did not approve the abortion, the advanced countries legalized the abortion “, Molina said at the religious rally” Battle of the Faith “.
During your intervention he defined abortion as a state of rebellion against God, adding that the debate that should be at the forefront is how to resolve the economic and health crisis that overwhelms the country, caused by the coronavirus.
“Today the debate is whether to let live or kill a creature, when today’s debate should be how we got out of the economic crisis, how we got out of the health crisis that hits us, we are discussing in Congress whether or not we are killing a child from his mother’s womb, “he said.
The discussion on the legalization of abortion came to life again in the country, after President Luis Abinader expressed your support for the three causes which allow termination of pregnancy.
“I agree, like most of the population, not only in the Dominican Republic, but also in the world, with free abortion, but I think there must be reasons to terminate the pregnancy. That was the official position of our party, “he said.
He is currently studying in the Standing Committee on Justice of the Chamber of Deputies a bill that would legalize abortion for three reasons.
The three situations in which abortion would have been allowed are: in case of incest or rape, the risk to the mother’s life or the fact that the fetus has a malformation incompatible with life.
