The bishop of San Cristóbal de las Casas, Felipe Arizmendi, stated in an official document: “It is an aberration and culpable ignorance to affirm that a woman is the owner of her body and that she can get rid of the foetus she carries in her womb. However, the inquisitorial power of these sectors has permeated into other instances and is leaving its mark in a blind debate, according to which no woman is the owner of her life or her body.

Religious intolerance imposed on the majority resembles another form of fascism.
