Bio

In the midst of division in our society i aspire to become a voice of relief to Puertorican youth. I hold close and stand firm in the Constitution when it states "We The people". However, it seems that our surroundings have diverted from the foundation of our beloved country. Our burocracy seems to impose their understanding without considering the truth, and sadly many innocents are victims. That is why, as a Political Sciences student, i believe in justice for all, from conception to natural death, not having parcialized judgements.Integrity, leadership and humility must be our way of proceeding because power with a wrong perspective can corrupt even the best of intentions. I dedicate my life to the study of justice, truth and governance with the finality of becoming a lawyer with a Public administration preparation.

    "The price that they paid is a fire that will change this world" (Not forgotten, Phil King) It is evident that we are currently living in a death culture, in which individuals preach justice while dismissing the value of the unborn. As the disputes over "there being no truth" catch fire, we Pro-Lifers know that life begins at conception. Being these facts supported by embryology, it is unacceptable to call "healthcare" the killing of the innocent. The defense of individuals in the womb cannot be merely a label; it must be the driving force behind our daily actions. Abortion is permitted in our Puerto Rican jurisdiction until the ninth month; we don't know how many abortions are performed each year because clinics are not required to record their data, but we do know the consequences. Our birth rate has decreased to the point where just around half of the population will be left by 2050. "Only 18,439 births were registered in Puerto Rico between January 1 and December 31, 2021," according to "Primera hora," a mainstream news source. "This is the lowest birth rate in the country's history, at least since the 19th century." Even with all the problems, our island has an abortion has been a significant contributor to these statistics. Every abortion is a tragedy, which is why my family and I have been involved in the cause of the unborn. Along with my parents, we take part in associations like "Mujeres por Puerto Rico", "Provida Pr", "Defensores de las aceras", "Confirma tu voz PR". These are pro-life conservative organizations that move in advocacy for the unborn and also look for the mother's wellbeing. My ambition, while I was in high school, was to work as a Planetary Astronomer. I was actively involved in science and concentration camp movements. However, one day I came across a NASA article in which they expressed their enthusiasm at the possibility of discovering new life on Mars with the support of donors who had contributed money. "Searching for life outside of earth when we slaughter the innocent in their mother's womb," a voice inside of me whispered at the moment. After that experience, a week later, I was in my Spanish class when somebody inadvertently questioned me about abortion; I froze with fear and said a tiny prayer. The guy who initiated the discussion stated that he was merely interested in learning more about the topic since he was in favor of abortion during rape. "We cannot justify the murder of babies for a minority," I responded. "Raped abortions are less than 1% of all abortions; rape is a traumatic and awful event in which the aggressor must be punished, but the baby should not pay for the crimes of his father; it is absurd that we place more value in a turtle's egg than in human life; the fetus will not exist again, it is unique in existence, and using my "rights" to harm those who are innocent is wrong." I felt unqualified for such a topic after such debate, so I began attending seminars. I felt obligated to do more, so I began studying political science and law at university in order to defend the life of all human beings from conception to natural death.
