Pope Francis On Abortion
You liked him when he challenged the tenets of capitalism. Do you still like him now?
http://www.lifesitenews.com/pope-fra...s-to-dat2.html In his brief address, Pope Francis quoted the document Gaudium et Spes of the Second Vatican Council, that says, “Life once conceived, must be protected with the utmost care; abortion and infanticide are abominable crimes.” |
So if you don't want them how about supporting contraception? As H.L. Mencken put it "Catholic women can use mathematics to prevent pregnancy but not physics or chenistry." Yet all those good catholic healthcare plans will pay for penis starch pills.
Despite his views regarding contraceptives he is still on the right track most of the time. |
Pope Francis On Abortion
The majority of catholic women have used contraception so perhaps the church teachings don't have much impact in this issue.

I like him, though he's wrong on this issue. Why we would expect a celibate man to have a clue about sexuality and procreation?

My wife and I don't agree on everything, and we have been together 33 years.
In any event, this Pope seems compassionate on many levels, which is great. I didn't get a chance to vote for him or against him, but with his constituency, it seems that an anti-abortion stance is necessary. Regards, D-Ray |
I still think if one was honest with themselves. If men could get pregnant having unprotected sex, carry a child in their belly. There would be little discussion, with even less questioning about BC's impact. It would be legal the next day.
