In the age of global news, I find it interesting how some names stick while others fade away. People we otherwise never would have heard of, from distant countries, in towns and cities we may also never have heard about, but something happens and their names are burned into minds around the world.
A leader of Argentinaâs pro-abortion movement has herself died while having an abortion.
Maria de Valle Gonzalez Lopez (23) was a leader of the Radical Youth in the La Paz municipality in the province of Mendoza and was undergoing an abortion which she described as her âdreamâ when complications led to her death.
Ms Lopezâs baby also died.
Speaking in relation to tragedy Argentinian surgeon Dr. Luis Durand, told ACI Prensa journalists:
âwhile some believe that the death of the young woman couldâve occurred due to some misconduct, in reality abortion is not a medical practice. Just a few months ago, it was a crime under Argentinian law. In the case of abortion, the death of the child is always brutal. It is burned through injecting substances into the uterus, or it is removed through dismemberment, or it is subjected to extreme uterus spasms which asphyxiate it.â

Pro-life advocates have long pointed out that despite claims abortion is safe, the procedure doesn’t just end the life of the unborn child, it also poses serious risks to the mother.
Argentina is now learning that lesson the hard way after abortion proponent María del Valle González López s death days after a chemical abortion. The incident has renewed an intense debate over abortion after the country legalized the procedure last year.
According to Argentine paper Clarín, the young woman was given medication “presumably misoprostol” and later felt sick. “She was referred to the main healthcare facility in the eastern area of Mendoza, Perrupato Hospital, where they diagnosed a general infection that may have caused her death,” Clarín reported.
