On the day when Christians commemorate the massacre of the ‘holy innocents’ by King Herod, Pope Francis prayed for “all the children who are not allowed to be born,” in reference to the millions of victims of abortion.

but Herod was troubled and mowed down the children like wheat;
for he lamented that his power would soon be destroyed.
