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".

A place this size, especially one in a historically red state, was unlikely to have an abortion clinic before Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022.

Arizona’s Civil War-era ban on nearly all abortions officially is being repealed Saturday. The western swing state has been whipsawed over recent months, starting with the Arizona Supreme Court deciding in April to let the state enforce the long-dormant 1864 law that criminalized all abortions except when a woman’s life was jeopardized. Democratic Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs signed the bill in May, declaring it was just the beginning of a fight to protect reproductive health care in Arizona.
