Rome Pope Francis likened having an abortion to hiring a"hitman" while speaking at the"Yes to Life" anti-abortion conference in Rome Saturday.
The Pontiff stated that abortion was never acceptable -- not even in instances when fetuses are seriously ill -- and urged doctors to support women to complete all pregnancies. "Is it licit to eliminate a human life to solve a problem?...Is it licit to hire a hitman to solve a problem?" the Pope asked members of the audience. "It is not lawful. Never, ever eliminate a human life or hire a hitman to solve a problem," he added.
....very true.
Even within the Roman Catholic Church, there has been nuns who aborted their offspring! Nuns, who were impregnated by priests! Sex, and sexuality, is such a big issue! Without discipline, and God's help, celibacy is very difficult!
you are so disappointing, using this language too
How does he fall weak on other tenants of the church’s beliefs and then hardlines now?
That's obvious, no? You pay someone to kill your baby. That's a hired assassination. That isn't hitman's kinda thing?
Keep on embarrassing yourself religion! That way more people will wake up to how clearly insane and useless it all is!! humanism
Apropos.
Carrying out crusades & murdering innocents in the name of religion is apparantly okay!🙄🙄 Have or not to have a child is for the would be parents to decide! These paedophiles just want unwanted children to fill up their ranks! 😠
The Pope only wants sodimisers,the bum more important than the virgina
Maybe his word would mean anything if he had the guts to hold accountable his own priests for the sick behaviors against living children. I'm guessing he rather go after women as the evil doers. That seems to fit history and religion.
Yeah who still listens to this piece of human faeces?
Well the leader of many sick priests who like to touch little boys! Has got something to say about what goes on in America! He should ne more worried about his perverted Priests then a women’s rights to her own body!
But raping kids and nuns is ok..m
We that church can be a mafeia church at times so it takes one to know one
What an idiotic thing to say.
BeCause a group of Pedophile preists know about morality
Who asked him anyway?
Women don't need anyone to tell them what to do with their bodies. Especially this old man who should be focusing on his rapist priests.
Well, not really. But I suppose that means he won't ever have one. Free to choose.
True. A woman can control herself by abstinence & protective sex, not by killing an innocent child after the fun of sex
Very true! Why condemn killing of humans and allow killing of unborn humans? Why the double standard?
And sending pedofile priests to a little boy’s room? A kind of a “hit”, eh Poppy?
After hearing the Pope declare an abortion to like hiring a hit man I wonder what he likens sexual abuse of children by clergy to?
Obviously if the fetus is aborted it can't grow into an adolescent altar boy. 🖕 them. Don't tell anyone what to do and keep your God damn hands to yourselves. Grifting hypocrites.
He can leave anytime
Did he speak on the 5 Catholic priests in Michigan just charged with criminal sexual conduct?
jodijeannine It is that, not that it is likened too. I’m pro choice, so long as you know that that individual is at stake. Their dreams and aspirations die with them, never to be fulfilled. If you’re cool with that, then go for it.
And the Catholic Church knows all about hiring hitmen! Churches and their heads are some of the most corrupt people and businessss in the world. The Pope is a pimp with a license to vomit bullshit.
Funny he said it that way. That’s what I’ve been telling people.
Religion and men have no say here.
Gifen the church’s sexual abuse scandal and pedophile priest issues Pope Francis has no right to judge any other person
Cool Pope not so cool anymore. 😥
Imagine the amount of viruses you are killing when you take antibiotic...every time you take antibiotics it’s like internalizing Hilter.... right?
A rotten institution from top to bottom
What would he liken generations of covering up for pedophile priests to?
Pos
These so-called “pro-life” (which really means pro birth) act as if the tough choice women make to abort a pregnancy is a joyous moment in their lives.
So the progressive liberal Pro Death squads will turn their vitriol on the Pope shortly.
Pope is worried there may be a shortage of little boys. 🤦♀️
Waiting for left-leaning media to start dragging Pope Francis because of AbortionBan. AbortionIsAWomansRight abortionisNOTawomansright
Who gives a shit what this guy or his church has to say. Hundreds and hundreds of thousands sexual abuse victims thanks to evil diabolical ppl like him
Abortion is worse the baby is ripped apart into pieces a hit man one shot in the head its an instant death!
Anti-abortion is about white privilege losing its grip on life, 60% of abortion is by European ppl. If this isnt corrected they will be out populated in 15 years. That's what its about!!!
He s the pope... It s too late now...
Going into the comment section on this one
Well of course they need all the little alter boys to be replenished
ANTICRISTO CON SOTANA
Take it further and address the core problem!!!
Hit man or an abortion doctor neither has sympathy for the baby and none for the parents the doctor gets money for killing your baby!
😎🤔 Sometimes (?) Catholics tend to preach water & go to drink wine. AbortionIsAWomansRight DrainTheShame Hypocrisy Dishonesty
A choice he’ll never have to make.
HOW TRUE IF CATHOLIC rape or incest otherwise EXCOMMUNICATION
Easy for him to say...he doesnt have sex...
Apparently pedophilia is ok though...
Yeah yeah. Stick to handling rampant sexual abuse by your priests and mind your business about how I mind my own body. If god has a problem with my freedom of choice she can talk to me directly🤬
An 11-year-old girl is forced to have a pregnancy due to rape. She died (same as the fetus). That is good.. Pontifex vaticannews_es
Yup
But I thought libs LOVED this pope because he is soOooo “PROGRESSSIVE” on the GIGANTIC lie called “Climate Change.”🙄 Oh and PS, he’s RIGHT. HaveFunWithYourHitman LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder
Men have no business trying to tell women what do
How about raping young boys who serve the church? What can you liken it to? Oh wait, a priest!
Maybe he should worry more about his sexual deviant priests than about women.
How many people were slaughtered at the hands of your church, because they had differnt beliefs than yours? Quit blowing your holy smoke, pediperv
Religious people don’t like abortion? Thats okey, DON’T abort, but let others decide what to do with their body. Simple as that!
The Vatican lecturing the world on abortion ...will get to that in a minute ... but before, let’s finish the topic of sexual assaults committed by priests on children. I bet you the victims would prefer to hear you talking about that!
hey, Franci, I thought you were a bit gentler than that. But I get it, Catholocism and all...
What the hell does this guy know about sex or female reproduction? His expertise lies in the sexual abuse of children.
What an Idiot! Religion is good for nothing, whether it’s Christianity or Islam! They are all blind Ideologists, not putting the human being first!

Dear Pope: Don't have an abortion if you don't want one. Perhaps you should stay focused on doing more re: the pedophiles, rapists, abusers and murderers that the church condones and protects.
What an ignorant statement.
He is right. Abortionists and hit men are the exact same job description and produce the same finished product. ProLife Catholic
Making a woman carry to term a baby who will die, live a short life in extreme pain, or who will not have any cognitive function is the definition of cruelty. Wonder why western partitioners are turning on the church?
Does anyone really care what this pedophile has to say any more?
Does this include all the many nuns that have had abortions?
Norwegian princess Märthat Louise joined anti-abortion protests Good, good, good!!! Kronprinsparet
What do the Catholic Church and Walmart have in common? Little boys Pants half off.
If the fetus is from the clergy, spread the seed.
Your Holiness, until the blame and responsibility falls on the shoulders of the man nothing will change. You should start with that. Peace be with you 🙏🏽
All talk
Sorry Pope, this goes beyond religious interpretations & beliefs
Who cares. The Catholic Church has repeatedly allowed sexual assault and rape of children.They don’t have a moral ground to stand on . Report the views of the MAJORITY of Americans.
My grandchild at 11 weeks. I can’t imagine the horrible people who chop and suction out life. They are hitmen.
Pope Francis says That Killing Kids is Worst than A Hit Man or Hit Woman he is On Trump Side So he the Real Boss the Pope all World Heads have to go Bow and Kiss His Ring he Love Trump 99 years in Jail any one going murdering Children before Born.
Pro-Life: 'abortion is murder.' Pro-Choice: 'abortion is healthcare.' Somewhere in between the truth lies.
It's GOOD that the Pope talks strong about ABORTION . But when it comes down to priest abusing young boys they speak in Whispers
Take care of the children already born being abused by priests!
The pope who has no women priest but thousands of pedophiles as priest is telling women again that they have no say! I wonder how many women decided to leave the Church for ever after hearing him!
A woman's choice.
Religion is for the weak!
He should worry about what his priests have done/still do to children and shut up about something that concerns women bodies/choices
I love it!
I wonder what d Pope would say if a man was d one raped n forced to keep d child?! Because most of them would have d largest group of unwanted babies at their priesthood retirement communities!!!
Your Excellancy I couldn’t agree with you more but don’t tell our Democratic Party that. They are referred to as TBK also known as the Baby Killers.
JakeJMacMillan He's so enlightened. It seems like he's almost caught up with the 11th century.
When the only rational you have for ProChoice is.. “We need not resolve the difficult question of when life begins.“ - 1973, Harry Blackmun (Roe Vs. Wade)
How many pedophiles has the Pope hired?
can't believe this religion still exist in 2019
God bless Pope Francis!
That’s because he’s never been pregnant.
WhyIdislikeCatholics
Raping boys
Says ththe catholic church who are responsible for how many deaths in human history ?
I liken the death of women who because of religious and/or political laws were denied abortions as murder.
Ignorant man
Thank you for your opinion. And now the catholic faith does not dictate the law in the USA thank you
Where is the Anti-child abuse conference Pope? Huh? Anyone? Oh yea that’s just accepted as normal amongst religious types 🙄
Another old white man spouting off about women while remaining silent about the crimes perpetrated by the priests he leads
Abortionist = Murder for Hire
New catholic followers gained: 0 Catholics lost: still counting.
The fact that catholics can condemn abortion and label it evil while not pulling their weight on helping with the climate crisis is so high on the hypocrisy scale it’s sickening. Do the lives of our future generations not matter?
He does not speak for God.
What if Pope was a female!!!
He’s right.
What does the pope compare the clergy to raping little boys to?
This is a hypocritical statement at best, what about the young lives destroyed so early by child sex abuse at the hands of clergy, of which the Vatican is doing little to next to nothing in response.
Now let’s see what’s the other side has to say about the pope..
What does he call rapists who get these women pregnant?
Ok I am Catholic and even I don’t buy that garbage. Another old man, although he seems genuine, trying to impose ruling over others when he can not control the men in his church.
If you feel that way, fine. But stop being a hypocrite. The Catholic Corporation should stop banning the use of contraceptives and start promoting them. Focus on stopping unwanted, or accidental pregnancies, and start focusing on preventing pregnancies and subsequent abortions.
The last time I checked the Bible said that no one should judge another but God. So we should condemn you for all the children lives that was destroyed under the Catholic Church right!?!
This coming from a religion that has murdered millions in the name of god.... Even though their god has not commanded it & even looks down on murder... Thats how the church fained power of minds & nations... MURDER!
Imagine this fool who belongs to a cult that murdered hundreds of thousands having the fucking nerve to use the term 'Hit man'
Can he speak at an anti-rape by priest conference too?
He’s the lefts new Comey, they love him when he’s talking trash about Trump and now vilify him because he’s pro life. He’s the fucking Pope, what did you think was going to be his stance? Live and let live, people ✌🏼
Coming from a sex-trafficking church, that's quite a statement.
The Catholic Church dictating morality? The same that still won’t encourage their priests and nuns to inform the police when child abuse is suspected, or release documents related to their own cover up of child abuse. But it’s ok, after all, women should do as they’re told.
But raping young boys and nuns is ok 🤔
Malleus Maleficarum, the Inquisition, burning of books and destruction of art deemed “unholy,” and let’s not forget all the molestation scandals. Shall I go on?...
Yep, he’s right.
And why aren't you reporting on a missing girl in Utah from Logan?
Still waitin for that child rape conference 💀
Thank God the pope has no influence over intelligent people.
If a woman gets raped. Take the morning after pill. There’s no need to make abortion legal. It will cause all sorts of mental health problems for young women who make a decision as a juvenile. They have to live with that moment for the rest of their lives
HE IS NO LONGER COOL POPE. EVERYONE TAKE NOTE.
Have to hand it to Pope Francis he certainly knows how to bring his point across.
People who lead organizations who let their members sexually assault children, try and cover it up, and still get to keep their membership need to STFU about morality etc. otherwise it’s just hypocrisy personified
And what can shielding pedophile priests for decades be likened to, one wonders?
*pro-life Would you have characterized a pro-choice event as 'anti-life?'
I liken his hiring pedophiles to hiring pedophiles.
Finally. Something from this pope I can get on board with.
Thank you Holy Father.
shame on you Pope Francis
This guy don't know shit!
Pontifex also believes in letting grown men sexually abuse children. So there's that.
Pontifex Yeah and Pastor Alph Lukau will perform miracles BOGO free
The Bible says God created man. The woman did not create man. God gave the woman the ability to give birth, with the help of a man, to create a baby.
Pope smoking some cheap cheese with Donald Trump
Is it legal to ranch it up?
Half Nelson. Full Nelson. Father Nelson. He’s Satan.
And back to the dark ages we go.
Why can’t you all understand. It’s not about your “right” to choose. It shouldn’t be a choice! You are taking a life! It’s murder!
Me, writing on Twitter, likened being a congregant in the Catholic Church to being a paid member of NAMBLA.
So how does he justify the lives ended when children killed themselves after abuse by priests? Didn’t the Church employ “hitmen” for centuries? This is why I stopped being Catholic, & Corrupt evangelicals stopped me calling myself Christian.
You were on such a good streak...epic fail for women and Christianity
Why anyone would listen to any religious dictator/pastor of any denomination of any kind is beyond me!
Abortion is women’s right no one can take it away from them
But yet he enables child molesters under his own roof. Religion: the ultimate brainwashing mechanism.
Why don’t you worry about the Catholic hitmen, aka priests, who stole so many children’s and nun’s lives and for whom the coverup continues?
How does he know about hiring a hitman?
It's really not
That is an excellent analogy! Surprised he gets it!
Shame on you pope!
And what do you liken a rape to? And by the way, the Pope sure knows how to judge having an abortion but in my view has little to say about the rape and ruination of little boys. Good thing for you they are boys and not girls or you would have illegitimate kids running all over.
I miss Pope John Paul, he was a benevolent man. Francis... meh. This is a false narrative, God hateth liars.
Ffs. Get over yourself Francis.
Rich coming from child abusers. This is like Trump calling the FBI corrupt
He knows because...he had one
Says the leader of the pedophiles
And what is your take on pedophilia Popey?
And he also believes in fairytales.
LIFE BEGINS AT CONCEPTION!!!!
What does he liken molesting a child to? Deciding what to have for lunch?
here's a reminder that god is not pro life:
You would think someone like the pope would understand God’s views!
Well if anyone knows about assassinations it would be the church.
I am Catholic but I disagree with the Pope here. A woman has a right to choose. How would he feel if we said no more vasectomies for men?
