Pope Francis affirms that opposing abortion \u201cis not a primarily religious matter,\u201d but one \u201cof human ethics,\u201d and thus \u201cindependent of any religious confession.\u201d <\/p>\n
These were the words he used in a letter in which he responded to women from three different villas, or neighborhoods, in Argentina: 31, Rodrigo Bueno and Jos\u00e9 Le\u00f3n Su\u00e1rez. The women had asked him to intercede against the project on abortion that is to be debated in Congress.<\/p>\n
The pope's response is similar to the one he gave on his return trip from Ireland in 2018, when the legalization of abortion was being debated in Argentina. At that time, the Chamber of Deputies approved it, but the Senate rejected it.<\/p>\n
POPE FRANCIS <\/strong> In Argentina, the debate has been put on the table again, and in his letter, the pope supports women against abortion. <\/p>\n The pope proposes facing the issue by considering whether it is \u201cjust to eliminate a human life to solve a problem\u201d and whether it is \u201cjust to hire a hitman to solve a problem.\u201d<\/p>\n Pope Francis' letter is dated Nov. 22 and was circulated on social media.<\/p>\n Javier Romero<\/p>\n Translation: CT<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" November 25, 2020.

\nThe issue of abortion is not a religious issue. We are not opposed to abortion for religious reasons. No. It is a human issue and has to be addressed as such. To consider abortion starting from religion is to step over that thought. The abortion question has to be studied from an anthropological standpoint.<\/em><\/p>\n
