Pope Francis decries abortion and euthanasia as treating human life like ‘waste’
VATICAN— Pope Francis decried abortion and euthanasia in a speech Monday in which he said that today’s “throwaway culture” leads to the killing of children and discarding of the elderly. “There is the discarding of children that we do not want to welcome with the law of abortion that sends them to the dispatcher and kills them directly. And today this has become a ‘normal’ method, a practice that is very ugly. It is really murder,” Pope Francis said Sept. 27.

New scientific research continues to reveal how this special bond has lasting physical effects long after birth.
