[Grem] Pope / Church's opposition to abortion is not subject to modernization

[Emoke Greschik]

“A human being is always sacred and inviolable, in any situation and at
every stage of development,” he wrote. “Once this conviction disappears, so
do solid and lasting foundations for the defense of human rights, which
would always be subject to the passing whims of the powers that be.”

....

While some people ridicule the Church’s opposition to abortion or present
it “as ideological, obscurantist and conservative,” he said, “it is not
‘progressive’ to try to resolve problems by eliminating a human life.”

Pope Francis said unfortunately it is true that, as a whole, the Church has
“done little to adequately accompany women in very difficult situations,
where abortion appears as a quick solution to their profound anguish,
especially when the life developing within them is the result of rape or a
situation of extreme poverty.”

Still, he said, the Church is called to show particular care for the
vulnerable and today the unborn are “the most defenseless and innocent
among us.”
