As a pregnancy center director and pro-life activist working in a heavily Hispanic community in Los Angeles for almost two decades, I have learned that the abortion industry and pro-abortion ‘rights’ politicians prey on Hispanic families. With lies about the humanity of the unborn child and what an abortion does to that child, they convince many Hispanics to choose abortion and to unwittingly support pro-abortion legislators.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is ironic that something so contrary to Hispanic culture as abortion can be so prevalent in our community. The rates of abortion in Hispanic women are double what they are for White women<\/a>. As a decades-long advocate of pregnant mothers in difficult circumstances, I have observed that the high rate of abortion is due to the targeting of Hispanic women by abortion businesses, coupled with the lack of knowledge about the true nature of abortion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For decades, I\u2019ve observed how pro-abortion politicians \u2014 even some with Spanish surnames \u2014 seek the vote of Hispanic families while camouflaging or minimizing their support for abortion. And for good reason. They know that Hispanics are largely pro-family, pro-children, and pro-life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, some pro-abortion politicians like Gabriel Vazquez are seeking to appeal to Hispanic voters, especially Hispanic men, by leading with his support for abortion rights. The only way he can garner their support is if he continues to mask the truth of what abortion really is: the destruction of an innocent human life. <\/span>An article in the New York Times<\/a> states: <\/span><\/p>\n

When he was a child, Representative Gabriel Vasquez never heard his parents discuss politics, much less abortion, a topic that was off limits in many Mexican Catholic households like his. So he can see why some might think he is taking a risk by focusing on abortion rights in campaigning to Latino men.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cOjos que no ven, coraz\u00f3n que no siente\u201d is a popular saying in the Hispanic community. It can be translated to mean, \u201cIf the eyes are not allowed to view [the truth], the heart will not be moved.\u201d Not allowing Hispanics to view the images of what abortion does to the child is destroying our children and wounding our women and men.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I have observed for many years how videos such as Live Action\u2019s \u201cAbortion Procedures,\u201d where former abortionist Dr. Anthony Levatino teaches the viewer what abortion does to the child with animations, have helped Hispanic men and women in difficult pregnancy situations reject abortion, choose life for their unborn children, and embrace the help offered to them by the pregnancy centers and the pro-life movement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
