In December, masses of feminists donned in green took to the streets of Argentina to celebrate the legalization of abortion in their country. Though a judge recently blocked the new law, the initial move prompted a Central American country to take action but going in a different direction.
The Honduran National Congress recently amended the country’s Constitution to declare that the unborn have the same rights under law as those born.
“The unborn shall be considered as born for all rights accorded within the limits established by law. It is prohibited and illegal for the mother or a third party to practice any form of interruption of life on the unborn, whose life must be respected from conception,” the Constitution now states.
