"Is it fair to hire a hit man to solve a problem?" asked Pope Francis while deviating from prepared remarks during his weekly homily at St. Peter's Square in Vatican City, The New American website reports today (October 10, 2018).
The pontiff's rhetorical question -- with "no" as the logical answer -- was part of his comparison to the act of abortion to contract killing.
It is difficult to argue with the pope's reasoning, since a pregnant woman does not kill the unborn child herself, but she does pay someone else to do it.
"Interrupting a pregnancy is like eliminating someone," Francis insisted. "Is it fair to hire a hit man to solve a problem? It is not fair. We cannot take out a human being, even if it is small."
