Ever heard that of a politician who has taken what could be described as an 'anti politician'. Thats the President of Ecuador, Rafael Correa.
Describing himself as a “leftist, humanist, and Catholic,” President
Rafael Correa of Ecuador threatened to resign if the nation’s
legislature legalizes abortion.
“They can do whatever they want,” said President Correa, according to a
BBC report. “I will never approve the decriminalization of abortion.”
“It has cost me more, the betrayals of my own supposed friends, than the
acts of my enemies,” the socialist leader added. “If these acts of
betrayal and disloyalty go on, I will tender my resignation.”
Archbishop Antonio Arregui Yarza of Guayaquil, the president of the
nation’s episcopal conference, said he was “impressed by the courage,
the quality with which the president spoke,” the Fides news agency
reported.
“We believe that human life is sacred and cannot be eliminated,” the prelate added.
Is he really justified in his stance?
