The highest ranking Catholic official in the Dominican Republic, Nicolas de Jesus Cardinal Lopez Rodriguez, will address a national radio and television audience tomorrow and Sunday. He will speak about the serious consequences of permitting any form of abortion. The announcement was made by Father Luis Rosario, the head of the Youth Ministry, who also announced that the Cardinal would give the speech tomorrow after a march on Congress that is due to start at 8:30 in the morning. The marchers plan to call on legislators to reject the legislative proposal aimed at decriminalizing abortions in certain circumstances. Another march will take place on Sunday, starting at the Fray Anton de Montesinos statue on the Malecon. The Cardinal will deliver his national radio address at 5pm on Sunday, and it will be televised at 9pm that night. According to the cardinal's spokesman, "everything we are doing is with the idea that our people understand the seriousness of decriminalizing abortions, what is most important is what we do to favor life."
