Francis admits contraception is morally acceptable in fighting Zika virus
Pope Francis suggested that using artificial contraception may be morally acceptable in fighting the Zika virus. But the Argentine pontiff, speaking to reporters as he flew back to Rome from an exhausting visit to Mexico, categorically ruled out abortion as a response to Zika, comparing the practice to a “Mafia” killing.

Disclaimer & comment rulesThe Dope of an argie Pope is allowing contraception (without it being a mortal sin) but not abortion to prevent a poor, deformed baby with likely severe brain damage from undergoing a lifetime of pain.

Has he NO compassion? Ah it's the RCCunts 'brilliant' idea of making as many new 'followers' as possible. The fact they are deformed and in pain with small brains matters not one iota. And what about the lifetime of self loathing the parents will be experiencing, blaming themselves for their badly handicapped child?
Nobody who agrees with this can be considered a Christian.
BTW he says Trump is not a Christian, well after this despicable 'edict' neither is he.
Pathetic. Francis should remember that we are in the 21st Century, even though he thinks he isn't...

If this problem persists, the level of retardation in Brazilian society will increase markedly and this will end up costing your country BILLIONS. If in doubt, just refer to thalidomide and the cost to the state to deal with those birth defects.
This problem will resonate through your society and your government budget for the next CENTURY.
The countries which have other critical issues to handle; can not afford to treat the battle against Zika as the Top-Priority.
Feb 21st, 2016 - 10:10 am - Link - Report abuse 0For the politicians in the countries like Venezuela, Brazil, etc; the struggle for remaining in power is more urgent than the elimination of Zica.
Neither the efforts from the WHO, UNO, Governments nor the individual efforts can eliminate it totally - from ALL over the globe.
Hence; Zika is here to stay.
Can Brazilians afford condoms or the contraceptive pills is my question, do they manufacture said items in Brazil?
Feb 21st, 2016 - 11:20 am - Link - Report abuse 0So far only Brazil has seen an increase in microcephaly.
Feb 21st, 2016 - 11:23 am - Link - Report abuse 0We need to find out why it is so far only happening in Brazil. It may not be a global problem.
Either way it is already an issue in Brazil.
@1 I agree with you.

Feb 23rd, 2016 - 07:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Sure they manufacture condoms and contraceptive pills here, and they are affordable, but since a good portion of the population aren't too bright, that is, they don't think they need to use them, e.g., BRasshole, what can you expect ?
