LifeSiteNews - A Desperate Battle - Last Call!
A Desperate Battle - Last Call!Matthew C. Hoffman is the Latin America Correspondent for LifeSiteNews.com. His articles have appeared in dozens of major newspapers and magazines including the Wall Street Journal, Sunday Times of London, Detroit News, Miami Herald, and many others. Matthew has produced major investigative reports for LifeSiteNews that have received international attention and led to dramatic developments regarding the issues reported.
While the abortion industry and the homosexual lobby are fighting to protect their growing empire in the English speaking world, they are simultaneously seeking to conquer new territory elsewhere. One of their primary targets is Latin America, which has historically been a bastion of pro-life and pro-family values.
Millions of dollars are pouring into Latin American countries from foundations in the US, Canada, Britain, and other “first world” nations dedicated to establishing abortion and gay “marriage” as “rights,” encourage promiscuity through contraception, and create lurid sex “education” programs seemingly designed to destroy the moral fabric of Latin American culture.
Latin America is a relatively poor and “undeveloped” region of the world, with deeply ingrained Christian traditions and strong families, and is fighting a desperate battle against a well-armed foe. As LifeSiteNews’ Latin American Correspondent, I’m here to keep you informed about the battles raging there, as Ibero-Americans struggle to protect themselves from the humanitarian and demographic disaster already ravaging the “developed” world.
My job requires me to track events happening in twenty-one Latin American countries in three languages, as well as the US territory of Puerto Rico, and the Iberian nations of Spain and Portugal. Each country has its own history, culture, and laws, which must be understood in order to properly report the news from those countries, requiring me to do an immense amount of background research and analysis.
LSN’s reporting on Latin America has made a real difference in the lives of the people who live here. In 2006, LSN exposed the fact that an American pro-abortion organization, Ipas, had falsified a story about a woman in El Salvador imprisoned for abortion (she had been convicted of killing her child after it was born), forcing the New York Times to retract its story and helping to reduce the pressure on the tiny Central American country to relax its absolute prohibition on all direct abortions.
LSN also helped to bring international attention to the story of “Rosita,” a girl who had become the pro-abortion movement’s poster child in Nicaragua
