Pope speaks out against abortion as Argentina debates abortion on demand (L'Espresso)

The lower house of the Argentine parliament has voted to legalize abortion on demand in the first trimester. The Pope said in a recent letter, “Is it right to eliminate a human life in order to solve a problem? And is it right to hire a hitman in order to solve a problem?” Bishop Alberto Bochatey, the Argentine bishops’ lead bishop on health issues, expressed hope that the Senate will vote against the legislation, but warned against complacency.
