The pope told reporters onboard the papal plane both presidential candidates are “against life, be it the one who kicks out migrants or the one who (supports) killing babies,” according to the Associated Press.
Francis, maintaining the stance of the Catholic Church, said “abortion is to kill a human being. You may like the word or not, but it’s killing,” and also condemned anti-immigration policies, saying to abandon migrants is “something terrible, there’s evil there,” CNN reported.
