Cardinal Nicolas Lopez Rodriguez, who is responsible for the change in the Constitution so that it now bans abortion regardless that the health of the mother be at risk, went public to favor that physicians give priority to save the life of the teenager who suffers from cancer and would need chemotherapy. The chemotherapy would be lethal to the health of the 10-week old fetus. "Her situation can be saved, but we do not agree to making the abortion directly," he said as reported in Listin Diario. "The most that can be done is try to save the 16-year old girl, and if as a consequence the creature dies, then we have not directly killed the creature," he said after mass at the Cathedral yesterday. Art. 37 of the 2010 Constitution established: "The right to life is inviolable from conception to death."

As reported in Listin Diario, physicians at the Semma hospital where the girl is being treated began the chemotherapy yesterday.
