Pope Says Abortion is Like “Hiring a Hitman,” Showing His True Colors

[phands]

Wow...this from a hypocritical piece of shit who hires hitmen lawyers to hide and protect abusive priests....

Pope Francis is showing what he truly believes as he lashes out against people fighting for safe and legal abortions, saying the process is like “hiring a hitman.”


Francis has been the “Public Relations Pope” ever since he came into power via the mighty Vatican smoke (a.k.a. Catholic leaders who meet in secret) because of his focus on inclusive wording and gentle statements. But lately he’s been in the news for various missteps involving sexual abuse and cover-ups and — now — issuing harsh and unfair criticisms of abortion, albeit criticisms that line up with Catholic doctrine on the issue.


Specifically, he told a crowd of people that abortion was akin to “hiring a hitman to resolve a problem.”

What was his stance on abortions before this? Has anyone ever thought that he considered it something other than the murder of children which everyone should be fighting against?

This is the position which I'd always assumed a Pope would have had. Is this the first time he's talked about the issue?

I don't know why this would be a surprise to anyone.What would you expect the Pope to say about abortion?

It's really not fair to hold His Holiness up for public scorn without offering a counter simile. If abortion is not like hiring a hitman, what is it like?

Yeah, this isn't a misstep.
This is pretty much the dance step laid out on the diagram.

What would be truly newsworthy would be if he declared life to begin at first breath - like The Bible says - and withdrew the whole political effort of the RCC from the Abortion Debate.

This is more like a CEO announcing that the company exists to make profits. Yawn.

Hiring a plumber?
