Colombian Pro-Life Leaders Request Show of Support from Other Countries

By John-Henry Westen

BOGOTA, November 17, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Leaders of the pro-life organization Red Futuro Colombia (The Future of Colombia Network) have requested organizations which believe in the right to life to send e-mails in support of the pro-life cause and in opposition to the very serious current attempts to overturn Colombia's constitutional protection of the right to life. In addition to emails, pro-life leaders are asking for urgent prayers on their behalf.

This South American country has been able for many years to resist the attempts of internationally-backed efforts to legalize abortion.  However, they are now confronting their most serious threat, at their Constitutional Court and in their legislature, pro-life leaders tell LifeSiteNews.com.  A case brought in April before the Constitutional Court calling for Colombia's laws against abortion to be declared unconstitutional could very well become the "Roe v. Wade" of Colombia. A decision by the Court is expected in days. (see additional LifeSiteNews.com coverage of the case: http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2005/sep/050914a.html )

Meanwhile renewed pro-abortion efforts in the Federal Legislature are underway.

Red Futuro Colombia and many other organizations together with Church leaders have been responding to these threats. Their most recent activity is a pro-life demonstration this Saturday, Nov. 19th in the Plaza de Bolivar in downtown Bogota, Colombia.

Red Futuro Colombia's leaders have asked for support from other pro-life organizations in other countries who believe in the sacred right to life to please send an email indicating support. Some of these emails will be read publicly at the pro-life demonstration on Saturday and all will be tallied and used to show pro-life international solidarity.
