While addressing an audience at the Vatican City on Wednesday, Pope Francis likens abortion to

Reuters believes this may impress conservative Catholics who favour more discussion on issues relating to "cultural wars".

In his comments it is nothing but pure evil to attempt to prevent the existence of a life that had already started in the womb. The outcome is often a soul being unable to fulfill its life purpose.

“Is it right to take a human life to solve a problem?" Pope Francis asks an attentive crowd. "It's like hiring a hitman," the pontiff adds. Still bothering on conscience and regard for existence, he disagrees with ending a “human life in the womb in the name of safeguarding other rights."

Accept every life

Pope Francis thinks no reason can justify the elimination of an existing life because of cultural reasons. Doing this is similar to the greatest evil in the world.

He desires a world where every life is allow to blossom. According to him the essence of Christ's death covers every soul.

“How can an act that suppresses innocent and helpless life in its blossoming be therapeutic, civil, or simply human?

“One could say that all the evil done in the world is summarized in this: contempt for life.

“What leads man to reject life? They are the idols of this world: money, power, success. These are incorrect parameters to evaluate life. The only authentic measure of life is love, the love with which God loves it!

“In every sick child, in every weak old man, in every desperate migrant, in every fragile and threatened life, Christ is looking for us, he is looking for our heart, to disclose the joy of love.

"It is worthwhile to accept every life because every man is worth the blood of Christ. We can not despise what God so loved!”
