The campaign, which involved the New York Times, CNN, the BBC, the pro-abortion "human rights" organization Amnesty International, and the pro-abortion activist group Ipas, finally ended last week when abortion advocates failed even to secure a congressional debate over the proposed legislation, and the current legislative session was closed.

Amnesty International complained in a press release that the "legislators of El Salvador have their hands stained with blood after refusing even to discuss the proposal for the decriminalization of abortion ... The wasted opportunity to put an end to this injustice is a terrible blow to the human rights in El Salvador."

The El Salvadoran organization Young People for Life saw it very differently.

"We're celebrating that abortion was not legalized in the 2015-2018 legislature. During these three years the abortionists dedicated themselves to bombard us with media campaigns in favor of abortion. April was the last month they could achieve their objective."

Campaigners hoped to pass pro-abortion legislation before the end of the current legislative session, when an even stronger majority of conservative parties will take control of the national congress. Their hopes appear to have been dashed for at least the next three years.

What seems to have been a coordinated campaign to pressure El Salvador to permit the killing of the unborn began in late 2017, when the United Nations' Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights began to complain about seventeen women in El Salvador who are currently imprisoned for "abortion."

The same claim was repeatedly echoed in the Spanish-language editions of the New York Times, CNN, and the BBC, as well as by the pro-abortion "human rights" organizations Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. The United Nations and the media claimed that the women were in prison for having had spontaneous abortions or miscarriages. That claim was disputed by pro-life organizations, which pointed out that the women had been convicted of deliberately killing their children after birth.

Both the constitution of El Salvador and its civil legislation prohibits all abortions, and the law is defended strongly by the country's principal medical association, the Medical College of Nicaragua, which includes 37 different medical organizations.

"No situation exists in current medical practice in which human life must be intentionally destroyed by means of an abortion for the purpose of saving the life of the mother," the doctors declared in mid-April...
