Peruvian bishops condemn abortion bill

Peru's Catholic bishops have condemned a bill to allow abortion in the cases of rape and foetal deformity. The Peruvian bishops' conference said: "[H]ow can we accept the death penalty for an embryo that hasn't even had the time to commit a mistake and cannot even defend itself?" The bill has been approved by a committee and is due to be debated by the full Peruvian Congress. [Channel News Asia, 13 October] http://is.gd/4gSnq
