“Is it licit to throw away a life to resolve a problem?” he asked. “Is it licit to hire a hitman to resolve a problem?”
Pope Francis compared obtaining an abortion to hiring a"hitman” at a Vatican-sponsored anti-abortion conference Saturday.
“Is it licit to throw away a life to resolve a problem?” Francis asked. “Is it licit to hire a hitman to resolve a problem?” His comments come in amid a wave of anti-abortion legislation considered and enacted by state lawmakers in several American states. Alabama's law — considered the most stringent, and set to take effect later this year — would effectively ban all abortions, even in cases of rape or incest. Only the mother’s physical health is generally provided for as an exception to these recent restrictions.
Francis has in the past expressed sympathy for women who obtain abortions, but this hasn’t swayed his definitive stance on the issue.
