Pope Francis Compares Having An Abortion To Hiring ‘A Hitman To Commit Murder’

A handwritten letter by Pope Francis, which has been circulating social media, and the Vatican leader compares aborting an unborn child to hiring a hitman to commit murder.

“Is it fair to eliminate a human life to solve a problem? Is it fair to hire a hit man to solve a problem?” he wrote in the letter dated Nov. 22, per ABC News.

Apparently, Francis was responding to a group of women from the Buenos Aires who were protesting a new Argentine law that will legalize abortion. “The country is proud to have women like yBuenos Aires.”

This isn’t the first time the pope has compared abortion and hitmen.

“Is it licit to throw away a life to resolve a problem?” he said at a Vatican-sponsored anti-abortion conference in 2019 “Is it licit to hire a hitman to resolve a problem?”

Despite his recent comments, the Pope has been making more reformative changes in the church, including showing support for same-sex marriage. He also has been actively working on social justice.
