Why even address “homsexual unions”? He did not address mass murderers or abortionists, did he?

Perhaps on cruise control?

Clearly Pope Francis had to speak out strongly against "homosexual unions" because he was responding to the Synods,which addressed this topic. He also denounced other anti-life practices, for instance when he strongly supported adoption in opposition to abortion:

179 "Adopting a child is an act of love, offering the gift of a family to someone who has none. It is important to insist that legislation help facilitate the adoption process, above all in the case of unwanted children, in order to prevent their abortion or abandonment. Those who accept the challenge of adopting and accepting someone unconditionally and gratuitously become channels of God's love. For he says, "Even if your mother forgets you, I will not forget you" (Is 49:15).

He didn't focus on "mass murderers" as this was not addressed by the Synods on the Family.
