The Bishop of the Diocese of Baní, mMr. Víctor Masalles responded to the position of President Luis Abinader, who said he agreed with abortion for its three causes during an interview with the director of the American newspaper El País, Jan Martínez Ahrensel.
On his Twitter account, the bishop posted a message assuring that the president’s position caused great regret at the birth of baby Jesus.
“In the world of faith, it has caused great regret that, especially on the days of our Savior’s birth, a President expresses support for situations where unborn are eliminated, all knowing that the causes are the prelude to free abortion.”
During the interview, the head of state stated that he did not agree with free abortion, but if its three causes, in case of incest or rape, the risk of the mother’s life or the fetus having a malformation incompatible with life.
“I, like the majority of the population, not only in the Dominican Republic but in the world, disagree with free abortion, but I do think there must be grounds to interrupt the pregnancy. That has been the official position of our party, ”said the president.
