report that pro-abortion activists attacked and
vandalized Chile’s main Catholic Cathedral while Mass was in progress because
an 11 year-old girl pregnant following rape had decided to keep her baby.
Upset that an
11-year-old girl who became pregnant after she was raped decided to reject
having an abortion, abortion activists in Chile vandalized a prominent Catholic
church in the country — during Mass.
From an AP report:
Abortion-rights demonstrators vandalized Chile’s main
cathedral during a Mass and used pews as barricades during clashes with police.
A group of demonstrators broke off from a largely peaceful
protest calling for the legalization of abortion Thursday night and stormed
into the Metropolitan Cathedral of Santiago, interrupting the homily.
They painted walls with pro-abortion messages, broke
ornaments and hauled pews all the way to the Plaza de Armas square in front of
the cathedral. Police in riot gear rushed to the cathedral to contain them, and
arrested at least two people.
President Sebastian Pinera condemned the vandalizing of the
cathedral, which remains closed for repairs.
“We repudiate and reject these types of acts,” Pinera told
reporters outside the presidential palace on Friday. “This means not respecting
the rights of others,” he said. “They’re not tolerant and are contradicting
their own views.”
