For the second time in a month, Pope Francis has strongly decried abortion, as well as euthanasia. Monday, the Plenary Assembly of the Pontifical Academy for Life received a papal address during a discussion of \u201cPublic Health in Global Perspective.” During his address<\/a>, Pope Francis said the international community should to continue addressing inequalities in issues like health care and living conditions, but without<\/em> approving abortion and euthanasia.<\/p>\n

“I would like to mention that we are victims of a throwaway culture,” he began on the issue, adding, “there is the waste of children that we do not want to accept, with that abortion law that sends them to the sender and kills them directly. And today this has become a ‘normal’ way, a habit that is very ugly, it is really a murder, and to understand it well perhaps it helps us to ask a double question: is it right to eliminate, to take out a human life to solve a problem? Is it okay to hire a hitman to solve a problem? This is abortion.”<\/p>\n
