" Women have the right to life: their life and the life of their children ." This is how Pope Francis responded to a question about abortion in the press conference on the flight from Brussels to Rome . "An abortion is murder," "you kill a human being," " doctors who do this are, if I may use the word, hitmen ."

"And there is no arguing about this," Francesco continues, opening up instead on the pill: " Contraceptive methods are another thing. They are another thing. Don't confuse them ."

But on abortion, he reiterated, "there is no discussion, excuse me - he told the journalist who asked the question - but it is the truth."

Pope Francis thus returns to condemn abortion without mincing words and applauds, also speaking to the international press, King Baudouin who resigned in order not to sign "a law of death", as the Pontiff himself calls it. "A politician with trousers", he defined him, and promised the Belgians that he will support his cause for beatification because a ruler like that "is a saint".
