Colombia: A group of pro-abortion women attempted to burn down Bogota’s Primatial Cathedral

A group of women participating in a pro-abortion demonstration attempted to set fire to the entrance of the Primatial Cathedral in Bogota, Colombia.

The act of vandalism and intolerance took place in the capital of the South American country amid riots for the “World Day for Legal and Safe Abortion” in front of the eyes of public officials of the district.

In the face of the violence, officers of the Mobile Anti-Riot Squad (ESMAD) of the National Police were deployed, who remained on Wednesday night guarding the temple’s entrance, as well as the vicinity of the Congress and the Plaza de Bolivar.

“Feminists, abortionists, aggressive. Attempting to burn the door of the Cathedral is NOT free expression, but vandalism and aggression against religion and its parishioners. An insult to Catholics. What are the authorities going to do?” wrote María Fernanda Cabal on Twitter.

The situation has precedents: in March, a group of vandals entered untimely shouting harangues against the Catholic faith to a Mass in the Cathedral of Bogota. On that occasion, the rioters used hoods and ended up engaging in scuffles with people attending the mass that day.
