VATICAN: POPE: ABORTION BETRAYS A PERSON'S VOCATION TO BE HUMAN


Vatican Channel report: Abortion is not a solution. Thus repeated Pope Benedict in his address to the Pontifical Academy for Life, at the end of their General Assembly, which examined post-abortion syndrome.
The Pope said the serious mental health problems frequently experienced by women who have had an abortion reveals the irrepressible voice of moral conscience, which suffers serious injury whenever human action betrays a person's vocation to be truly human. (IMAGE SOURCE: RADIO VATICANA)
The Holy Father also said doctors must emphasize that abortion does not solve anything, but instead kills a child, and damages the mother, the father, and often entire families.
Speaking about the second central theme of the meeting - methods for retrieving stem cells from ambilical cord blood, Pope Benedict said this is an issue with delicate ethical questions that must be addressed bearing in mind the priority that must be given to the common good.
