Anti-Rights Views: HLI Mission Combats Abortion Legislation in Dominican Republic

Human Life International (HLI) is an anti-rights actor that advocates a regressive definition of ‘the family’, anti-LGBTQ and anti-choice policies.

Responding the legalisation of pro-choice decisions on abortion in The Dominican Republic, HLI says “it comes as no surprise that life and family are under attack from within the Dominican Republic, traditionally a Catholic country. The wealthy nations’ promotion of abortion has gained momentum with collaboration from the United Nations and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) like International Planned Parenthood, Amnesty International, and the Center for Reproductive Rights. This anti-life mentality is even seeping into the Dominican public school system as efforts are now underway to mandate sex education and to remove references of God.”
