BY LifeSiteNews.com By John JalsevacMEXICO CITY, Mexico, May 28, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Mexico’s government-appointed attorney general, Eduardo Medina Mora, has joined the effort to overturn Mexico City’s new law permitting abortion in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, by taking the issue to the Supreme Court, reports Reuters.According to Reuters, Eduardo Mora said in a statement last Friday that the Supreme Court had already previously demonstrated that the abortion law was unconstitutional. Mora will be arguing the pro-life case before the Supreme Court along with José Luis Soberanes Fernández, president of the National Human Rights Commission of Mexico, who has also presented a motion to have the Court declare the law unconstitutional.In order for a motion of unconstitutionality to pass, thereby opening debate on a certain law, 8 of the 11 magistrates in the Supreme Court must vote in favor of the motion.Mexico’s ruling party, the National Action Party, is strongly opposed to the new law, which was passed by the leftist party that holds power in Mexico City.
