Famous Mexican Actress to Star in Pro-Life Play Authored by Herself
MEXICO CITY, March 28, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The famous Mexican actress Laura Zapata will be starring in a new play authored by herself, which she hints will show the psychological damage suffered by women who have abortions.
According to Zapata, the work will depict an encounter between the woman for whom abortion was legalized in the United States, (presumably Norma McCorvey the plaintiff in the "Roe v. Wade" Supreme Court case that resulted in the legalization of abortion in 1973), and a woman from an organization called simply "Provida" (Pro-Life).
"I think this is a topic that is necessary to bring up, because those cases are never talked about, even though laws are made (regarding them)...What causes an event of this type for a woman is not talked about openly."
According to El Universal, Zapata also noted that there are women whose psychological damage from abortion is so great that they can't bear to have children again. She says she wants women to know that there are better options available to them than abortion.
Zapata is well known for her roles in Mexican "telenovelas", or soap opras, as they are known in the United States. Her career spans 33 years, although it was interrupted when she was kidnapped and held for 16 days in 2002.
Her kidnapper was eventually arrested and imprisoned for his crime. Zapata visited him in jail and forgave him just days before he died, apparently a suicide.
