“In this new Legislative Assembly many of those deputies returned who favor the culture of death in our city and are part of a conglomerate of false liberals who say that they protect life, including animal life, as a gift of the blatant ‘modern Herods’ on the very day of the innocents in which we remember the terror that was experienced in the times of Jesus with the annihilation by decree of newborns,” editorializes the archdiocesan newspaper From the Faith (Desde la Fe) in its January 6 edition.

The city’s elected representatives “not only do not rectify their perverse legislation, but take pleasure in unanimously approving the punishment of ‘animal mistreatment’ the newspaper states, noting that, although abortions after the first trimester of pregnancy remain illegal, they are only punishable with up to six months in prison, while abuse of an animal can send an individual to prison for up to four years.

The archdiocese’s strong statement, which has caught the attention of the city’s major media, is the second made by the archdiocese in the weeks following Pope Benedict XVI’s strong condemnations of abortion, homosexual “marriage,” and transgenderism during his Christmas and New Years addresses.
