U.S. Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ), Chair of the House Global Health and Global Human Rights Subcommittee, today issued the following statement regarding the push to change Liberia’s pro-life laws:
“Abortion always ends a baby’s life and also harms the mother—psychologically, spiritually and often physically.
Your children—Liberia’s future—are under direct attack, and it is imperative that Liberia’s Congress reject this attempt to remove existing protections for unborn children.
Unfortunately, President Weah and many congressmen who are supposed to protect the lives of Liberians have instead failed to do so.
There are allegations of money coming from Sweden and other Western sources, flowing to politicians and even churchmen.
This corruption and this cultural imperialism directed at Africans must be investigated.
There must be justice and accountability!”
