Pope Francis started off his five-day trip to Poland with a strong defense of the unborn, saying that “life must always be welcomed and protected. These two things go together – welcome and protection, from conception to natural death.”
Abortion is illegal in Poland except for cases of rape/incest, or when the unborn child has a severe disability. It is also considered illegal in cases where the mother’s life is in danger, though as moral theologians explain, due to the principle of double effect, medical interventions to save the life of the mother which unintentionally bring about the death of the child are not abortion at all, since abortion is the deliberate killing of the unborn child.
For the last several years, pro-life groups have sought a constitutional amendment to protect the unborn, and this summer, a new civil initiative to ban abortion was again successful and stands to be debated by government.

Wait…you mean the Pope is Catholic?
:rolleyes:
Psst, don’t tell anyone, he’s actually a reptilian humanoid trying to unify the Catholic Church with the Cult of the Mother Komodo Dragon, the chief religion on the planet Epsilon Eridani. 😃
