SAN SALVADOR, May 2, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Comments from El Salvador’s President, Elias Antonio Saca, have challenged international abortion and population control agencies who are targeting his country.
“We are an army of defenders of our Christian faith, we are an army opposed to abortion,” Saca said in response to the approval of legalized abortion in Mexico City.
In April, it was revealed that European interests at the World Bank are attempting to force developing countries such as El Salvador to implement abortion in exchange for loans. In an April 19 letter, Bank Directors from Belgium, Switzerland, France, Germany and Norway demanded that the bank continue its coercive policies requiring strict population controls.
El Salvador remains defiant. “Those of us who love life, those of us who believe in God, those of us who believe in life cannot be in favour of abortion in any form,” the president said.
Saca thanked God that the constitution supported the right to life, and “Our leaders are opposed to abortion.” He warned, however, that there are still those in El Salvador’s government who “believe in these kinds of things, in this kind of dangerous modernisms.”
He echoed comments from Archbishop Angelo Amato, Secretary of the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, calling abortion “a crime.”
“The Vatican,” he said, “has gone even further and has called it terrorism, because it is the killing of a baby in the womb of its mother, it is true terrorism.”
