SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Over his career in politics, Sacramento City Councilman Eric Guerra and his mother, Amparo Perez Quintero, 68, found common ground on almost every issue — education, immigrant rights, public safety and housing.
But when it comes to reproductive freedom, the two aren’t close to agreeing.
Quintero, a devout Catholic, opposes abortion, believing that unborn children have a right to life. And while Guerra was raised under the same religious beliefs, he began questioning the orthodoxy as a teenager. By the time he finished college, Guerra had completely changed his mind about abortion.
