"Is it legitimate to take out a human life to solve a problem? Is it permissible to contract a hitman to solve a problem? The answer is yours. This is the point, it is not about religion, it is a human thing. It is never lawful!" Francis stressed as quoted by the Crux Catholic Media.
According to the Crux, statistics show that countries where abortion is legal, nine in ten children who show the possibility of having Down Syndrome during are aborted during pregnancy.
