Happy non mother day

NYTime lauds a Colombian court "legalizing" abortion..."in some cases"...
The progressives laud this as wonderful...

Well, in Colombia they view abortion as murder.

And a couple years ago, the same court "legalized" euthanasia.

Groups advocating changing the laws argue that the abortion laws in Latin America are counterproductive. Latin America has a higher rate of abortion than even in Western European countries where abortion is legal and widely available.

Four million abortions, most of them illegal, take place in Latin America annually, the United Nations reports, and up to 5,000 women are believed to die each year from complications that arise from the procedure. At least 300,000 illegal abortions are believed to take place in Colombia each year.

The court's ruling will not be easy to put into effect, as health authorities ponder such thorny issues as how to confirm that a woman seeking an abortion was raped.

The Catholic Church hierarchy and some groups opposed to abortion vowed to fight on.

"We are calling for civil disobedience, so Colombians do not follow these practices," said José Galat, the rector of the Gran Colombia University. He has paid for full-page newspaper advertisements criticizing abortion rights advocates. "We're going to call for a referendum to let the people decide if abortion should be legal or not because the court cannot impose this."
