Activists Vandalize Church in Chile During Mass After Girl Rejects Abortion


LifeNews.com 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.”
