    Pope Francis: Having An Abortion is Like Hiring a ‘Contract Killer’

    “Interrupting a pregnancy is like eliminating someone,” Francis said in an address to worshippers in the Vatican. “Getting rid of a human being is like resorting to a contract killer to solve a problem … Is it just to resort to a contract killer to solve a problem?”

    His comments departed from the prepared text for his homily delivered during his weekly audience in St Peter’s Square.

    In his address, the Argentine pontiff complained of a “depreciation of human life”.

    He cited wars, exploitation and what he called a culture of wastefulness, as well as abortion.

    “How can an act that suppresses innocent life be therapeutic, civil or even human?” he asked.

    Francis this year opposed a bill that would have legalised abortion in Argentina.

    In August a lay campaign group said thousands of Argentine Catholics renounced their membership of the church to protest against his opposition to the bill.
