The Rev. Franklin Graham is applauding Pope Francis for recent comments he made about abortion.
"I appreciate Pope Francis boldly speaking out for the unborn," Graham said in a recent Facebook post.
Speaking to a delegation of Italy's family association in Rome over
the weekend, the pope said abortion to avoid birth defects is similar to
the Holocaust.
"It is fashionable, or at least usual, that when in the first few
months of a pregnancy doctors do studies to see if the child is healthy
or has something, the first idea is: 'Let's send it away,'" the Pope
said. "We do the same as the Nazis to maintain the purity of the race,
but with white gloves on."
He has frequently lamented how the sick, the poor, the elderly and
the unborn are considered unworthy of protection and dignity by a
society that prizes individual efficiency instead, and he's urged
families to accept children "as God gives them to us."
Graham continued in his post, "The Pope denounced abortion, calling
it the 'white glove' equivalent of the Nazi-era eugenics program. He
also encouraged families to accept children 'as God gives them to us.'
He's right, and our society needs to hear this message now more than
ever. God's Word says,
'Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
the fruit of the womb a reward' (Psalm 127:3). We can never stop praying
for an end to abortion—will you pray that our nation would wake up and
protect the most vulnerable among us?"
