(CHRISTIAN HEADLINES) – Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei, a strong defender of the unborn, recently declared Guatemala the "pro-life capital of Latin America." According to the Family Research Council, Giammattei made the declaration last week at the Ibero-American Congress for Life and Family (CIVF). In the declaration, he vowed to protect the sanctity of life in his country. He also deemed March 9 the National Day of Life in Guatemala.
During the celebration, the Guatemalan President criticized the pressure from the U.S. and other Western countries to push pro-choice policies and gender ideology on other countries, including Guatemala.
As reported by the Family Research Council, in 2021, Giammattei added Guatemala to the Geneva Consensus Declaration, which insists that there is no international right to abortion. About 35 other countries have signed the declaration as part of the international pro-life movement. President Joe Biden removed the U.S. from the Geneva Consensus Declaration last year.
