Latin American Court rejects right to abortion

The Inter-American Court of Human Rights has just rejected an attempt to establish a “right to abortion” throughout Latin America.

The ruling creates a legal precedent that will help pro-life groups defend unborn life, from conception, in the 25 member countries, and the region at large.

The abortion lobby was hoping that the Court’s ruling would pave the way for abortion on demand in the same way that the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Roe v. Wade opened the path to unrestricted abortion.
