But he's a teacher, so what he says is important. He wouldn't talk like that if he supported abortion as a woman's "right"? Obviously, he does NOT support it.

We always notice when he says stuff that's dubious if not downright wrong-headed. Are we supposed to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear, when he defends the unborn child?

He talks it. He also walks it. When he became Pope, one of the first things Francis told his Almoner (top charity official), Monsignor Konrad Krajewski was to open a residential shelter just off of St. Peter's Square, serving all sorts of needy people but with a priority for pregnant women and street children.

This was in the news earlier this year when a Rom (also called gypsy or zingano) woman gave birth on the sidewalk near St. Peters' Square and the Pppe, hearing of it, directed that she as to be offered free housing for a year.

He's also requested Sisters of Life to set up one of their missions in Rome.

Could he do more? Of course. Is his alliance with prpulation-bomber ecology freaks (like the crew that rolled out Laudato Si) a problem? A big one.

But if anybody, president, premier, or prelate --- other than Francis--- had said and done what he has to uphold the right to life of the unborn, that person would be called a pro-life leader.

Think about that.
