"While many will be irritated to hear a pope return to the topic, I cannot stay silent over 30 to 40 million unborn lives cast aside every year through abortion...Human life is never a burden. It demands we make space for it, not cast it off." @Pontifex #LetUsDream

"I often ask myself these two questions: Is it right to eliminate a human life to resolve a problem? Is it right to hire an assassin to resolve a problem?" @Pontifex #LetUsDream

"My predecessor Saint Paul VI warned in his 1968 encyclical letter Humanae Vitae of the temptation to view human life as one more object over which the powerful and educated should exercise mastery. How prophetic his message now looks!" @Pontifex #LetUsDream
