Pope Francis reiterated his opposition to abortion, likening it to hiring a “hit man to solve a problem.”
Francis said he respected the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade but said in an interview with Reuters he could not comment on the case because he did not “understand it from a technical point of view.”“Is it legitimate, is it right, to eliminate a human life to resolve a problem?” Francis said in the interview, published on Monday. “It’s a human life — that’s science. The moral question is whether it is right to take a human life to solve a problem.
With church leadership divided on whether politicians who support abortion should receive Holy Communion, Francis emphasized the significance of a pastoral approach to Catholic politicians.
