Pontiff denounces abortion during Australia visit
Pope John Paul II condemned abortion as a crime during a Perth service before about 60,000 worshipers. He defended the church’s stance on contraception and sterilization and urged Australian couples to value family life while noting women’s rights amid global change. The pontiff was near the end of a two week Asia Pacific tour with plans to return to Rome.
