This report explains why the Republic of Paraguay must continue to protect the right of life of all human beings, including the unborn, and why it should, in the interest of protecting the rights and wellbeing of women and children, resist calls to liberalize access to abortion. The report also examines the issue of high levels of maternal mortality and morbidity in the country, as well as the importance of respecting parental rights in children’s education.
