Pope Francis has called for an end to the aborting of innocent lives.

In a tweet sent out on Holy Saturday, he begun by issuing a plea for the end of all wars: “Let us silence the cries of death, no more wars! Since we need bread, not guns”. He continued with an appeal on behalf of the unborn and all innocent lives: “Let the abortion and killing of innocent lives end”. He concluded with a plea on behalf of the poor: “May the hearts of those who have enough be open to filling the empty hands of those who do not have the bare necessities”.
