abortion against will of majority

Rio de Janeiro, November 2 (CNA).-A renowned analyst in Brazil
anticipates that the country's government will not stop its campaign
to legalize abortion, despite recent polls that show a majority of
Brazilians oppose the practice.
Carlos Alberto Di Franco, an expert in ethics, communication and
media strategy, pointed to the results of a recent poll by the
Datafolha firm, which indicated only three percent of Brazilians
consider abortion to be a "morally acceptable" act, and eighty-seven
percent totally reject it.
"The results of the poll are a bucket of cold water for the
pro-abortion strategy of Health Minister Temporao and confirm a
tendency manifested in previous polls. The campaigns of the
government do not correspond to the real Brazil," Di Franco said.
However, he said the "legalization of abortion, regardless of the
euphemisms used by some and the ambiguity of the president, is a
priority of the government of Lula. Public opinion is aghast at the
articulated campaign that they seek to impose, against the express
will of society and in the name of 'democracy,' the elimination of
the first fundamental human right: the right to life."
"The legalization of abortion is the first link in an immense chain
of the culture of death," he said, noting that after abortion is
imposed the next step will be euthanasia. "Brazilians are against
abortion. This is not an opinion, it is a fact measured by an opinion
poll," DiFranco continued. "Therefore the government should move
forward with caution. The legalization of abortion would be, right
now, a completely anti-democratic action. Moreover, there is the
question of principles. Democracy is the system that most genuinely
respects the dignity of the human person," he said.
"Therefore, despite the force of the emotional marketing that is
behind the pro-abortion campaigns, the anti-democratic venom that is
at the bottom of the abortion slogans is worrisome. It is
incomprehensible how we will obtain a more just and dignified society
for human beings through the death of others. There is an
indissoluble bond between the practice of abortion, the massacre of
Carandiru and other attacks on life: the human being is considered a
disposable object," DiFranco explained.
DiFranco noted that violence toward children and young people, the
climate of insecurity blowing through the large urban centers are "a
logical consequence of the culture of death."
