HAGATNA, Guam — A Catholic group has protested the governor of Guam’s plan to recruit abortion providers to the U.S. territory where no doctors are currently willing to terminate pregnancies. Lou Leon Guerrero’s recruitment idea has drawn criticism and support from residents, the Pacific Daily News reported Friday. One resident told the Pacific Daily News that recruiting an abortion doctor will make Guam a better place. ADVERTISEMENTThe archdiocese on the heavily Catholic island said in a statement it was appealing to the governor to change her position. Arsha Abellera, who has lived on Guam for the past decade, said the administration’s plan to recruit a doctor to provide abortion is long overdue.
