Huge step in fight against profit-taking abortion industry in America
By Bob Unruh
As more and more American states are recognizing the legitimate reasons to oppose, even limit or ban, abortion industry businesses, a governor in one U.S. territory has declared that the unborn now are “recognized as natural persons.”
The territorial law in Puerto Rico now affirms that life begins at conception, according to a report at CBN.
“Rather than radical the law reflects a growing acknowledgment that legal systems cannot indefinitely avoid the scientific reality that human life begins at conception,” explained Vianca Rodriguez, a writer for República.com, a Spanish news outlet.
“By naming that reality directly, Puerto Rico chose honesty over ambiguity and placed the value of unborn life firmly within its legal framework, reinforcing long-standing principles of human dignity and the protection of life recognized in both Puerto Rico’s and the United States’ constitutional traditions,” she said.
It is Puerto Rico Gov. Jenniffer Gonzalez Colon who just days ago signed into law Senate Bill 504, which changes the civil code to recognize an unborn child as a natural person.
The law reads, now, “Every human being is a natural person, including the conceived child at any stage of gestation within the mother’s womb.”
