The Catholic Church in Colombia is throwing its support behind a constitutional amendment that would protect human life from conception to natural death.
The amendment to the country's constitution must be passed twice in both the House and the Senate in order for it to be ratified.
The secretary of the Bishops’ Conference of Colombia, Bishop Juan Vicente Cordoba, spoke with CNA on March 3. He explained that the bishops would support lawmakers “with signatures, verbal support – through the media and with our prayers – and above all by encouraging them so that they are not alone.”
He said the amendment is “an endeavor involving many political parties and all religions, not only the Catholic Church.”
If it is passed, he noted, “the three exceptions allowing abortion will be outlawed,” as well as the morning-after pill, euthanasia and contraceptive patches.
