Not trying to get any Catholic knickers in a twist, just stating the obvious. Doesnt matter what any religious leader has to say young women in todays world will not listen, in general. The word on the street means more to them than any pontificated decree, unwanted pregnancy = abortion short, simple and cheap.
And if the religious leader cant control abortion how are they going to control euthanasia.
I understand.
Still the Pope has authority and a lot of those facing these situations are not young.
thanks for your reply.
