Latin America is following the footsteps of the United States, reaffirming their support for human life.
The Federalist reports El Salvador’s ban on murdering pre-born babies was just upheld by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR), a regional tribunal that enforces the American Convention on Human Rights, ratified by Mexico and many Caribbean and Central and South American countries.
Abortion ideologues tried and failed to make the recent court case, Beatriz v. El Salvador into Latin America’s Roe v. Wade.
Beatriz, a young Salvadoran woman with lupus, could not abort her child under her nation’s pro-life law. Her illness did not prevent her from being able to carry and deliver her baby girl, Leilany, according to the Federalist. But within only five hours after birth, a life-shortening disability took Leilany’s life.
Years later, Beatriz died in a tragic motorcycle accident. Leave it to abortion lobbyists like Amnesty International, Women’s Link Worldwide, and Feminist Collective to shamelessly rewrite her story so they could somehow pin her death on El Salvador protecting the preborn.
Besides the fact Beatriz died much later from a completely unrelated incident, killing Leilany “at any stage” of her pregnancy “would have put her life at risk due to a recent scar from a prior C-section,” claims Maria Quiroga of the Global Center for Human Rights.
But facts and logic don’t matter to abortion fanatics.
With the mainstream media on their side, these lobbyists exploited both Beatriz and Leilany in a desperate lawsuit to legalize the abortion industry.
IACHR wasn’t phased, however. In a nearly unanimous vote, the court decided that El Salvador’s abortion ban had nothing to do with Beatriz’s fatal accident.
It’s a ruling that, according to the Global Center for Human Rights, “effectively marks a turning point in the court’s jurisprudence, which returns to respecting the sovereignty of countries and the letter and spirit of the American Convention that gave rise to the Inter-American Human Rights System.”
