STORY: ::Pope Francis criticizes Harris on abortionand Trump on his views on migrants :: September 13, 2024"Both are against life, whether it is the one who is chasing away migrants or the one that kills children. Both are against life. I cannot decide. I cannot say. I am not an American, and I will not be voting there. Expelling migrants, not giving them the possibility of working, not welcoming migrants is a sin. It is grave."(FLASH)"On abortion, science says that in the first month after conception, all the organs of a human being are already there, all of them. Performing an abortion is killing a human being. (FLASH)"Generally, it is said that not voting is ugly, it is not good; you must vote, and you must choose the lesser evil. Who is the lesser evil? That lady (Kamala Haris) or that gentleman (Donald Trump)? I don’t know; everyone in conscience (has to) think about it and do this (make a choice)."Pope Francis on Friday (September 13) criticised both former US President Donald Trump over his plan to deport millions of immigrants and US Vice President Kamala Harris over her pro-choice abortion stance.Asked about the U.S. presidential election on his flight back to Rome from Singapore, the pope said not welcoming migrants is a "grave" sin, and likened having an abortion to an "assassination".
