Translated from http://www.prensa.com - ASUNCION, Paraguay (EFE) .- The Paraguayan Senate today rejected a bill on sexual health, which has been criticized by the Catholic Church and other Christian denominations, because they believed that promotes abortion and homosexuality. With the support of 26 legislators and six against, the upper house sent the file draft "About Sexual Health, Maternal and Perinatal and Reproductive" whose study had been postponed repeatedly because of protests from religious groups. The senator and designer Carlos Filizzola, the opposition Country Cooperative, described as "barbarous" the decision and indicated that the goal is "protecting women to prevent abortions by reaching unwanted pregnancies." "Paraguay has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the mainland and the main cause of death is the clandestine abortion, which affect women much less money," said Filizzola. He added that the project was rejected arguments "that have to do with dogma" and explained that poses sex education, the possibility of family planning to women "decide when to have a child" and the free distribution of contraceptives and condoms. "We legislate here as a confessional state where that is secular. We need to legislate on the basis of the reality we live in," said Filizzola, who explained that the Catholic Church approves only natural contraceptive use.
