Pope Francis causes controversy, calls doctors who perform abortions

Pope Francis has caused controversy after calling the abortion law "murderous".

"Doctors who do this are killers, let me tell you. They are murderers," the Pope said. "And you can't argue about that. You are killing a human life.”

The comments have caused an uproar online, with pro-abortion commentators saying abortion bans have "never saved lives".

This is the second time in a few weeks that the leader of the Catholic Church has been asked about his views on abortion during a press conference.

On a flight from Asia, Francis said American voters should choose the "lesser evil" when deciding between a presidential candidate who wants to deport immigrants and one who supports abortion rights, a reference to Donald Trump and Kamala Harris .
