A number of high-level officials in the Catholic Church are criticizing women who have abortions out of fear their babies may be born with defects due to the Zika virus.

One of Pope Francis’ top advisers, Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga of Honduras, condemned those considering a “therapeutic abortion”, which is carried out if a mother’s life is in danger or there is a risk of fetal abnormalities.

“Therapeutic means curing, and abortion cures nothing,” he said. “It takes innocent lives.”
