New Survey Shows Hispanic Americans Want Abortion Illegal, Confirms Other Polls
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A new survey conducted by a popular Latino social networking web site finds a plurality of Hispanic Americans believe abortions should be illegal. The informal poll confirms others which show a majority of Hispanics do not support abortion, would back limits and want most abortions made illegal. Asked whether they think abortion should be illegal, 47% of the members of the SusOpinions web site said yes, 38 percent disagreed and 15 percent had no opinion. SusOpiniones.com is a bilingual market research panel and social community of U.S. Hispanic residents, 18 years or older. Registered members log in daily to express their opinions by taking a daily poll, posting in a forum, and uploading content. Raimundo Rojas, the Hispanic Outreach Coordinator for the National Right to Life Committee, previously told LifeNews.com that "in this country, we Hispanics bring our morals and our cultural abhorrence for abortion with us when we migrate." "Though some Hispanic political groups back abortion, the vast majority of us know what's right," Rojas explained. "We know that every child has a place en nuestras casas y nuestras familias -- our homes and families. We know and cherish and honor the sanctity of motherhood and of life." Ref. Source 5
New Billboard Ads Focus on How Abortion Targets Hispanics
Billboards across the nation have focused on how abortions and the abortion industry target black Americans and new a new billboard campaign in Los Angeles will show how abortion hurts the Latino community.
Alfonso Aguilar, executive director of the Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles, talked with the Daily Caller about the new campaign to feature a jumbo billboard in Los Angeles.
"It's clear that Latinos are being targeted by organizations that promote abortion like Planned Parenthood," he said. "Many of their clinics are in Latino neighborhoods and communities."
Aguilar has said, "Twenty-two percent of abortions in the U.S., for example, are performed on Hispanic women, and they are 2.7 times more likely to have an abortion than non-Hispanic white women. Motivated by their warped eugenic views, Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers are clearly going after racial and ethnic minorities in the country."
The new billboard will read, in Spanish and English, "El lugar mas peligroso para un Latino es el vientre de su madre/The most dangerous place for a Latino is in the womb." the Daily caller indicates the ads are part of a kickoff for a Sunday event called "Unidos por la Vida" (United for Life) at the LA Sports Arena sponsored by the pro-life group Manto de Guadalupe. The event features Governor Rick Perry of Texas and pro-life activist Lila Rose of Live Action Films. Ref. Source 3
Pro-Abortion Hispanic Groups Take Down Pro-Life Latino Billboards
Pro-abortion Hispanic groups have been successful in getting billboard companies to take down some of the pro-life billboards a conservative Latino group purchased to appear across Los Angeles, California.
Alfonso Aguilar, executive director of the Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles, announced the new pro-life billboards recently, saying "It's clear that Latinos are being targeted by organizations that promote abortion like Planned Parenthood. Many of their clinics are in Latino neighborhoods and communities."
The new billboards read, in Spanish and English, "El lugar mas peligroso para un Latino es el vientre de su madre/The most dangerous place for a Latino is in the womb." The ads were part of a kickoff for a Sunday event called "Unidos por la Vida" (United for Life) at the LA Sports Arena sponsored by the pro-life group Manto de Guadalupe. The event featured Governor Rick Perry of Texas and pro-life activist Lila Rose of Live Action Films.
However, Aguilar, according to pro-life blogger Jill Stanek, announced on Thursday that the billboards have been taken down.
"Pro-abortion pressure groups have forced the removal of pro-life billboards in Los Angeles which for the past week have revealed the truth about abortion in the Latino community," he explained in a press statement. "Like a similar ad campaign that ran in New York City, pro-abortion activists are desperately trying to cover up Planned Parenthood's targeting of minorities, and will squelch free speech to do so."

Most Dangerous Place for a Latina in the U.S. Is Her Mother's Womb
Today, the single most dangerous place for a Latina in these United States is still in her mother's womb.
That isn't hyperbole nor is it an opinion - it is a tragic fact. Latinas constitute approximately 16 percent of US female population but account for nearly 24 percent of all abortions. Not convinced? Before the sun sets today, 835 Latino babies will have been aborted - over 300,000 by the end of this year. Ref. Source 7
