The pandemic \u201cforced us to confront two unavoidable dimensions of human existence: sickness and death,\u201d Pope Francis said. \u201cIn doing so, it reminded us of the value of life, of every individual human life and its dignity, at every moment of its earthly pilgrimage, from conception in the womb until its natural end.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is painful to note that under the pretext of guaranteeing presumed subjective rights, a growing number of legal systems in our world seem to be moving away from their inalienable duty to protect human life at every one of its phases,\u201d the pope said, noting how the so-called \u201cright\u201d to abortion destroys unborn babies\u2019 right to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

**********************<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pope said society must respect the right to life for every human being, born and unborn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf we deprive the weakest among us of the right to life, how can we effectively guarantee respect for every other right?\u201d he questioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every person \u201cis an end in himself or herself, and never simply a means to be valued only for his or her usefulness,\u201d the pope said. \u201cPersons are created to live together in families, communities and societies, where all are equal in dignity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many times, Pope Francis has condemned abortion and urged Christians to protect every human life. In 2018, he caused outrage among abortion activists after comparing abortion to \u201chiring a hitman\u201d to kill unborn babies.<\/a> He frequently describes aborted babies as victims of a \u201cthrowaway culture\u201d<\/a> and encourages society to recognize their value.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
